Noah, how are you starting qsynth ? Specifically, what fonts have you 
tried ? I think fluidsynth has some troubles with large soundfonts, at 
least I've been unable to use qsynth with the Fluid_R3 font. Works fine 
with Creative's 8mbgmsfx.sf2 though.

Youve connected qsynth's audio output to alsa_pcm in the Qjackctl audio 
connections panel ? Volume is up on the mixer ?

Please let me know what fonts you've tried. Details help. :)

Best,

dp
