[LAD] Audio vs ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo

Hi :)

my reply might fail the topic, but maybe there is something in common.

I have an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI. I disabled on-board audio and HDMI and
removed the HDMI PCIe card.
If I try to use MIDI applications like Rosegarden, Qtractor and soft
synth like Qsynth (using an USB MIDI IO device and a Envy24 based sound
card) I only get crashes.
I tried to generate a core file, but this didn't work until now, so I
have no information about what is going wrong at the moment.

Okay, in my case it's not audio that's not working, but MIDI, anyway,
both has to do with ALSA.

I'm sorry if this is something complete different.

Cheers,
Ralf
