MIDI/Game Port (rev 0a) I have tried both using the internal kernel driver, alsa-driver-1.0.7 and alsa-1.0.8, all with the same results. Additionally I have switched the card numbers in /etc/modules.d/alsa with no effects others that the following: OSS emulation for the first sound card will not work, that is, there is no /dev/sound/dsp nor /dev/sound/mixer, but there is /dev/sound/adsp.

Change to this: alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 And this doesn't need to be 3: options snd cards_limit=2

What happens when you try this? alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 Now OSS will work for intel8x0 and won't work for emu10k1. alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1 Now OSS will work for emu10k1 and won't work for intel8x0.
