Thanks for the information. This is what I've got - mostly the result of having run alsaconf I think the post-install/pre-remove stuff is wrong - I don't know how that got there, but it probably explains why I have to keep manually restoring my mixer settings. Also, there's no reference to any synths, nor any references to /dev/midi etc as there are in yours - how should these have gotten set up? I'd appreciate it if you could take a look and make any suggestions.
