You did reboot right? Is Discover starting at boot time and trying to 
detect new hardware? It appears you have more than one soundcard in your 
computer, exactly how many do you have in the machine? My advice would 
be to disable all but one sound card/interface and try to get them 
working one at a time, so you would need to disconnect the usb Midisport 
also. Does the Midisport work?
