Normally it isn't a symlink, but it can be. Could you post: $ ls -l /dev/midi* /dev/snd/

mmh,

ls -l /dev/midi* /dev/snd/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2004-10-25 07:48 /dev/midi -> midi00 crw------- 1 gibson audio 35, 0 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 2 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi00 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 18 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi01 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 34 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi02 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 50 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi03 crw------- 1 gibson audio 35, 1 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi1 crw------- 1 gibson audio 35, 2 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi2 crw------- 1 gibson audio 35, 3 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/midi3 /dev/snd/: insgesamt 0 crw------- 1 gibson audio 116, 0 2004-04-06 15:27 controlC0 crw------- 1 gibson audio 116, 32 2004-04-06 15:27 controlC1

You have a stranger called Gibson in the house. I don't know if and I doubt that this is the reason for your troubles, but device files should be owned by root generally. You can make it so by:

$ chown root.audio /dev/midi* /dev/snd/* $ chmod g+rw /dev/midi* /dev/snd/*

Does (hw) midi work with other software like MusE or pmidi?
