This is especially easy to check with ZynAddSubFX. Just click on the piano keyboard in the ZynAddSubFX window, and you should see a key light up in blue, and hear a note play. If that's not working, you're never going to hear anything from Rosegarden either. > Do you have MIDI from rosegarden connected to the MIDI input of the synth? Once ZynAddSubFX is definitely playing, the most basic, generic, default setup out of the box in Rosegarden should have everything playing through "General MIDI Device" by default. You want to go into Studio -> Manage MIDI Devices... and change "General MIDI Device" so that it's sending its data through ZynAddSubFX instead of whatever else is in there. ZynAddSubFX isn't a General MIDI synth, of course, but going this route would typically be the least complicated and most immediate way to experience some quick gratification. Once you get one thing working, everything else should fall into place little by little from there. Unfortunately, the perennial "my sound is busted" issue has always been Rosegarden's most annoying problem, and there is still nothing decent we can do about it from inside Rosegarden after all these long years of development. Sound on Linux is just a crock, and every new thing they invent to try to make the problem better just makes everything that much worse. -- D.
