Same here with an AWE 64 value. It happens when I use sfxload do load the midi table to the card at start up. But this only happens at boot time, and not at very boot. The card works perfectly well afterthat. I have this problem for more than a year now, so I believe it goes back to the time I had kernel 2.0.xx in my machine.
A possible solution (that I never tried) would be not to call sfxload at boot time and call it "by hand" when you need to play midi. I don't remember hearing the noise if sfxload is called after the boot. Hey, could anyone explain (or point me to an explanation) what is the main diference between ALSA and OSS sound drivers?
