Do a search for roland mpu-401 drivers and one of the links should have what you need.

sounds like you got the wrong drivers, or possible there is a pci card conflict.

So check you got the right drivers, if there were more than one choice try the others,

Else you can try swapping the card into another pci slot.

But I would check out some other drivers first!


EDIT:
These ones look good.

Try reinstalling these first.

I had that prob with creative. I had to install the drivers first,then the sound card. Actually I had to physically remove the sound card and restart, then put the sound card back in and restaert again to install the drivers correctly.
