Re: [linux-audio-user] midisport 2x2

You're welcome, but permit me one last try: If replugging starts everything up successfully, something is wrong with hotplug's configuration, at least as regards it's behavior upon bootup. If there are no relevant messages in dmesg and messages, you'll be flying a little blind here, but I'd take a look at the loaded modules (lsmod and lsmod | grep snd) after a boot and again after a replug of the 2x2. If you see anything different, (and I'd also again take a peek at the log files to see what this replug accomplished) that might give you a clue. What I'm thinking is the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file where you can place modules that might conflict with the Midisport's starting. I had audio and usbmidi in my old blacklist from RedHat 8.0 where the OSS drivers were inclined to conflict with the ALSA ones. Without these, bootup was erratic. Sometimes the 2x2 would light up and other times not. You probably don't have this problem with your newer distro, but I am not familiar with Debian. Still, this is all I know first-hand. Anyone else? Frank
