I am using the midisport 2X2. If I leave it plugged in
at boot time, it
loads its firmware via fxload, which causes alsa to be initialiazed and
load its driver. Then in the boot sequence (this is on Mandrake10.0)
the normal init for alsa & sound cards is encountered. The alsa driver
says "alsa is already running" and does not load drivers.
My workaround is to unplug the midisport before booting, and then plug
it in after alsa loads the sound card drivers (but sometimes I
forget...). What would be the best way to change things such that I can
just leave it plugged in and still get alsa to load properly ?
The best way would be to get Mandrake to fix the bug in the alsa init
script. The second best way is to put
snd-usb-audio
into the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file to prevent the ALSA driver from
loading too early.
