Fernando, Thanks for the response. I have blacklisted the usb-midi and audio drivers and they no longer load. as expected.
I discovered this afternoon that I have too much stuff in modules.conf I think. (Actually in /etc/modules.d/alsa) # OSS/Free portion - card #1 (HDSP9652) alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # OSS/Free portion - card #2 (MidiSport 2x2) alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss Shouldn't I remove some of the services for card #2? (The MidiSport) The PlanetCCRMA Nano Config guide doesn't seem to show which of these 5 aliases should be used. (If any!) Can you help? I'll try removing the mixer and pcm-oss ones, and I'll try keeping the seq-oss ones, however all of that is just OSS support, correct? Running Alsa apps, do I care at all about OSS support for the MidiSport? I'm thinking no, and that maybe all 5 lines can be removed?

That should fix the problem. > I will take a close look at that script on my Planet box soon and see if I can scope out what you did. Thanks for the pointer.
