Hi Esa. /sbin/lspci for my Audigy2 soundblaster shows amongst other lines, one
for the "gameport" on the card, as below.
Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy Midi/Game port (rev 04).
and my lsmod shows 2 lines referring to this.
emu10k1_gp 3584 0
gameport 4608 emu10k1_gp

Neither of those shows up on your lsmod, so I presume that your card does not
have a gameport.

If you have a midi in connection, there is another module snd-mpu401. I don't
have a midi in, but this may be the module that needs to be loaded.
modprobe snd-mpu401 (as root)

You also mentioned trying a usb midi keyboard. You will need to load another
module, snd-usb-audio , and where you put it to autoload at bootup, depends
on your distro, but a, modprobe snd-usb-audio , will load it. I use an
Evolution MK-225C usb midi keyboard.

With the snd-usb-audio module loaded Qjackctl shows my keyboard on the left
hand side, and whatever I want to connect it to, ZynAddSubFx, etc, on the
right. It does also show on the left side, Audigy MPU-401 (UART) , but this
is probably with reference to the gameport on the card that can be used to
play midi through, but I havn't used this.

Nigel.
