A friend of mine who runs Debian Lenny (same as I do on this laptop), Qsynth/fluidsynth (0.2.5-2.2) and JACK (0.109.2.5) that I have. I start things this way: 1. Start JACK. 2. Start QSynth. 3. Connect QSynth to System output. 4. Connect my MIDI player to Qsynth. 5. Play MIDI - it works fine. He does the same thing, and gets no sound whatsoever. But if he tells QSynth to use ALSA or OSS, it works fine ... Any ideas? Basically, he's looking for a way to play MIDI versions of hymns from websites (he's a priest). I don't suppose he really needs JACK for that, but he also likes Aeolus ... -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
