When you connect the MIDI Out directly to the In (or connect pins 12

Don't really have the gear to check that one.
Cool, so it probably isn't the source of the problem then?

Do you see anything when running "amidi -a -d -p portname" for all
ports listed by "amidi -l"? You are sure you have the right adapter-cable?
Unfortunately, yes I'm sure. It works under that other OS fine.
/proc/asound/seq/drivers looks a little like this...
snd-emu10k1-synth,empty,1
snd-seq-midi,empty,2
Should there be something in there?
It says "loaded" when the particular module is loaded. (The external
MIDI port is handled by snd-seq-midi.) Some CVS version after the
1.0.7rc1 release deactivated autoloading of sequencer drivers because
of a locking bug when initializing, but this has been fixed in the
latest CVS. Absolutely no idea, this is probably just telling you
what you already
know, that MIDI is not configured. I don't know Mandrake. Under Debian
you'd be looking for something like /etc/alsa/modutils/1,0 (assuming you're
using ALSA
Linux gandalf 2.6.8-0.rc2.2mdk #4 Mon Aug 9 13:57:16 EST 2004 i686 unknown

= 1.0) or /etc/modutils/alsa-base, whatever file
is created by alsaconf,
you
would need to insert an options line into it. Need to know what soundcard
you have.

As you can probably tell, I've also got an Echo Mia in the same box, and a
US428 (MIDI works fine on that) sometimes hooked up externally.
Thanks for the help so far guys.
