Hans Fugal kindly tried to help me on this list on 6 Dec 2005, and sent me this informative link: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1353514&gr… However, that didn't fix it for me. Now, I have an ugly workaround in place: a little script that gets run by /etc/conf.d/local.start, which contains the following: #! /bin/bash modprobe snd-usb-audio cd /usr/share/usb/midisport fxload -D /proc/bus/usb/004/003 MidiSportLoader.ihx -I \ MidiSport2x2.ihx exit This works, provided that the MidiSport is always at the same USB bus address; in your case, you will have to change the /004/003 to /002/003. Hope that helps. I'm interested by your comment "hotplug makes some real trouble with USB audio devices". I'm having trouble getting the audio side of my Novation Speedio (a USB audio and MIDI interface) to work properly (as per previous posts on this list) - could this be related? If so, what do I do to run it without hotplug? Just one more comment while I'm mailing the list: if anyone uses the Proteus 2000 (a hardware synth), you might be interested in having a copy of a spreadsheet I've prepared, which has descriptions of all the drums and percussion sounds in the ROM it ships with. Let me know. Peter C
