It will be a long slow job, as it can be a couple of days sometimes between problems. Anyway, I've started by turning off the full duplex. If that doesn't cure it I'll turn off the Start aRTs at boot. While I have been typing this a message flashed onto the screen. I only caught a glimpse, but I think it said something about soundserver, so perhaps it has just written/read the changed config file.
Meanwhile, on the midi tab I have two entries. The second one is fine (EMU10K1 MIDI - External Midi Port), but the first one looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED]@e - External Midi Port except that the o is not an o, but a small square. Have you got anything like that? My card is the Audigy Platinum, with a front panel. There are physically two sources of midi input, then, but I don't know if they should have separate entries. I rarely use midi input - it's too big a hassle to move furniture - so I've no idea whether selecting the odd one would enable the front panel input. Anne
