I have a HDSP 9652 and a MidiMan 2X2 interface. The HDSP is installed by alsaconf. The 2X2 is installed usign Fernando's instructions from the Planet. When I do a cold boot, the HDSP is always recognized first, and then the MidiMan comes up as card 2, at least by reading the numbers of the devices in /dev/snd. However, if I reboot, many times the system makes the 2X2 card 1 and the HDSP card 2, and that breaks a lot of this software. What would cause this to happen and how could I stop it? I have found that everything seems to work fine if I remember to unplug the 2X2 when the reboot begins, but sometimes I don't remember and have to go through one more boot cycle.
