Hi Joerg, please configure Timidity to use the esound protocol. The standard way of doing that in Ubuntu 9.10 is documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats#timidity Please try it - if it works, update the NtEd documentation, if it doesn't, report back here. Btw, I can personally recommend FluidSynth as an alternative to Timidity. I think it renders soundfont files better than Timidity, and it also has a native PulseAudio driver. I'm a bit biased though :-) // David
