If a synthesizer is connected to that output, or if this output correspond to timidity++ running as a server or to the synth of a sound card like a live or an audigy, you will hear the music. > Instead, try Timidity++, which is probably in your distribution. > http://timidity.sourceforge.net/#info > > > Steve The big difference between windows and linux is at windows will install by default a software synthesizer when most in not all the linux distribution do not do that, even if timidity++ is included with most of them. So many windows users are not aware at they don't have a synth in their sound card. Timidity is a great software, you can configure it as a MIDI server that will appear as a MIDI synth in alsa and use sf2 soundfonts with it. You can even play midi file directly with it. Just run timidity <file.mid> -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.
