Oh the woes of soundcards... I still can't do midi's under mine and the I
think the joystick is non-functional as well. Are you trying to play Audio
CD's under KDE and\or Gnome. I seem to have more success with sound
under Gnome. Other GUI's do less or more well. YMMV. Try a a few
of the other window managers and see how it does... :)

p.s. - I have a C-media chipset and apparently the only way to
get midi and joystick is download a special "driver" module from C-Media
and compile it into the Kernel. Since I do not relish the idea I may or may
not give it a try. Good Luck!
