In my huumble opinion the DSSI version might *not* be recommended for long-term archiving and portability of .rg files as it relies on availability of the plug-in and soundfont(s) path...

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Get sound working with Realtek sound card
I would like to thank all you respondents who tried to help me..I have Jack, Qsynth, Timidity installed. But I am at a loss how I can tie all these pieces together to produce any sound. How to plug in any of these pieces? The info message box in rosegarden says visit Edit-Preferences-Behaviour-Graphics performance. There is no obvious way to do this ! The Union interface of Ubuntu 12.04 does not lend itself to do things as one would do in a KDE environment. I wonder if linux is getting so smart, that it tends to outsmart itself with the increased complexity. Michael McIntyre Tutorial is a great write up, but is not geared to modern hardware. It is based on KDE and I am lost how to apply it to my Union interface.

The info message box in rosegarden says visit Edit-Preferences-Behaviour- Graphics performance. There is no obvious way to do this! There certainly should be. I started Rosegarden, went to the Edit menu, found Preferences down at the bottom, and the Behavior tab was the first thing up, with the Graphics Performance option the very first choice available. Rosegarden no longer uses KDE, and it looks the same everywhere. If that option really isn't obvious to you, then somebody could have customized your particular build of Rosegarden in some weird way. Distros do that kind of thing. It's annoying. Anyway, the graphics performance thing is a very minor consideration in the scheme of things. Michael McIntyre Tutorial is a great write up, but is not geared to modern hardware. Actually, the hardware has changed very little since those days. If anything, the spectrum of hardware out there in the world is less complicated now, because all the really good stuff has been discontinued, and everybody is dealing with the worst case scenario now. Rosegarden, however, has changed considerably since those days. I never went back through that old tutorial to bring everything up to date. I'm afraid there's just nothing in it for me, and it would be an enormous amount of work. -- D.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Get sound working with Realtek sound card
Linux isn't the problem: the problem is Unity's misguided attempt to force apps to share a single menu instead of giving each its own menu in its own window (the way every other desktop UI on Linux does). Replace the worthless Unity interface with XFCE. We had to do that on my wife's netbook so she could use single-window programs that were a lot less complex than Rosegarden!
