Sorry I'm in the wrong forum...no wonder I don't have the program beaver!
I'll do that probe when I get back and report the results.
I did run /install the Alsa utilities and set up my soundcard...but there's no lights on the M audio Midisport.

At least it is supported....that's great news.

Slightly off topic Juanito, but I wanted some kind of thing where I can just switch on a laptop, linux boots with the usb midi thing working, and then I can play piano using something like timidity and soundfonts....imagine where you don't have a display...that's the goal....I do appreciate there are other music distros around...but they all run from CD...I want to build a silent PC running from a USB stick...that's why I'm trying to get this going...so if anyone has any advice about this ( or getting soundfonts to work with DSL or DSL-N) I'd appreciate any advice............
Thank you

Looking at the list, it seems as though your machine has some kind of Intel sound device integrated on the motherboard (like my laptop). It also looks like DSL-N has loaded both the OSS and the ALSA drivers for the Intel sound device - or maybe you loaded the alsa extension and then chose the right-click menu item to load alsa?

I think the first thing to do is to unload the OSS drivers:

Code Sample

# rmmod -f i810_audio
# rmmod -f ac97_codec

Does your machine play music (i.e. is there any sound) if you try something like this?

Code Sample

# mplayer -ao alsa /path-to-file/music.mp3

Hi again
You were correct - I do have a laptop with onobard intel and I did install Alsa...sorry if this confused you even more. I've removed the OSS drivers and when I try to play an mp3 with alsa I get this: (It doesn't play):
