snd-seq-midi not loaded at boot time

Even though I selected “Start Sequencer” in Yast “Sound Configuration” no sequencer modules are loaded at boot time. When I load the modules by hand, everything works fine. How do I get the sequencer modules loaded at boot time?

Another problem I noticed is, that “Line jack Sense”, “Headphone Jack Sense”, “Exchange Front/Surround”, “Exchange Center/LFE” and “Mic Boost (+20dB)” switches are missing in the list of available channels.

I’ve used two ways to do this, the first is using Yast!

Open Yast and look for “sysconfig editor -> System -> Kernel -> MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT” and add your module to the list, reboot and let me know if that works!

On the rare occasion, this hasn’t worked for me so I had to use a second method of manually creating a module.conf file.
As root, execute the following:


touch /etc/modprobe.d/snd-seq-midi.conf
kwrite /etc/modprobe.d/snd-seq-midi.conf

Add the following line!

snd-seq-midi

If the above line still doesn’t work, replace the dashes (-) with underscores (_) to read: snd_seq_midi

Save and close, restart computer.

The first way worked. Thanks a lot.
