Hi all,
I'm new to Rosegarden (RG), and I have trouble to enable audio playback
in RG. I realize that I 'm definitely not the first, and I sought and
found all kind of solutions, but so far to no effect.
My setup:
- I'm on opensuse Tumbleweed, a rolling distro which I keep up to date;
desktop KDE Frameworks 5.46.0
- from this distro, I have RG 17.12 installed
- audio hardware is Xonar Essence STX
- I have timidity 2.14 from the distro installed (and use it a lot, to
get sound from Frescobaldi, a front end tot Lilypond)
- fluidr3_gm.cfg and fluidr3_gs.cfg are installed, and timidity is
configured to use them
- in /etc/security/limits.conf: @audio soft memlock unlimited
I have tried a few ways to start RG:
* start timidity -iA, then start RG.
o In the Studio->Manage MIDI devices, the correct Timidity port is
shown as output;
o I load an example (for instance, aveverum.rg)
o Track-parameter and Instrument parameter windows now show
General Midi, and per track the correct instrument
o the sound system of the OS shows the alsa-plugin timidity as an
input stream
o but no sound when I press "Play" the RG
* start qjackctl, then start timidity -iA -Oj, then start RG
o the jack server is started (/usr/bin/jackd -r -dalsa -dhw:STX
-r48000 -p1024 -n2 -Xseq)
o timidity starts with some remarks on the terminal, but keeps
runing (which is doesn't when started without the jackd server)
+ timidity -iA -Oj
jack_client_new: deprecated
Cannot lock down 86611866 byte memory area (Cannot allocate
memory)
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 130:0 130:1 130:2 130:3
Couldn't start JACK device (`j')

o In the Studio->Manage MIDI devices, the correct Timidity port is
shown as output;
o I load an example (for instance, aveverum.rg)
o Track-parameter and Instrument parameter windows now show
General Midi, and per track the correct instrument
o the sound system of the OS does NOT show anuthing as an input
stream
o again no sound when I press "Play" the RG
I have - apart from numerous other sites - read the postings at
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/483210-Rose-garden-does-not-make-a-sound/
and tried the advises given there (e.g. to stop jackd if RG runs) but
they did not help me.
It did mention thefact that a short sound is heard when quitting RG, and
that's what I experience too.
What can I do to make Rosegarden put out sound?
regards, Jogchum Reitsma
