For a MIDI file to produce sound out of Rosegarden (and probably most DAWs) you do have to assign the MIDI file an instrument. If the MIDI file is composed for General MIDI, you have to assign General MIDI to the track containing the MIDI file you are trying to play. I haven't used Timidity++ directly in a long while, but if I remember correctly, General MIDI is the default for it (although you can swap out instrument sets in timidiity.cfg). So in other words, while it *is* the default behaviour of Timidity to use General MIDI mappings in order to produce sound from a MIDI file, that is *not* the default for Rosegarden (et. al) because a DAW sort of expects you to assign your own instruments. If you are assigning an instrument (in Track Parameters) to the track in Rosegarden, then I'd look at your sound output settings. I imagine Rosegarden is sending sound output to something other than the speakers or headphones you expect to hear output from. The way I check for that is from the outside in: check all my physical cable connections, then my sound settings in pavuctl (Sound Settings in Gnome), then check JACK sound mappings, and then finally check Rosegarden sound mapping.
