I would like to document a problem I had with Rosegarden: from 2 laptops I was receiving sound, but from my desktop no sound emerged. Michael solved the problem for me and I would like to document it.
Step 1: fire up Qsynth. Step 2: in a terminal use: pmidi -p 128:0 fileName.mid Use whatever port is appropriate and whatever file name. Pmidi is nice little program which has the advantage of being much simpler than Rosegarden. It checks if your hardware is OK or not. On my desktop I could hear sound under pmidi but not under Rosegarden, but I had verification that my hardware was OK. On Rosegarden I could see the flashing green "LED" on Qsynth so I had positive verification that Rosegarden was indeed feeding the information to Qsynth - just no sound was coming out. I knew only Michael could help so I asked him. After a couple of rounds Michael guessed that perhaps JACK is stealing away the hardware from Qsynth. To test he suggested purposely messing up the script which activates JACK. I went into the file ~/.jackdrc and at the beginning of the file placed the word "garbage". This would prevent Rosegarden from starting it. It worked like a charm. Suddenly I began to hear sound and can use my desktop computer as well. Thanks to Michael for getting me up and running, Ilan -- View this message in context: http://rosegarden.2324881.n4.nabble.com/problem-with-no-sound-from-Rosegarden-tp19000.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
