Bug ID: 401520
Summary: Using Timidity causes loss of audio on Ubuntu
Product: minuet
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: midi-engine
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Minuet depends on Timidity, and running timidity at startup appears to gazump
pulseaudio access to alsa hardware.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. (K)Ubuntu 18.10
2. Install Minuet (pulls in Timidity)
3. Lose audio via snd_hda_codec
OBSERVED RESULT
no audio via hardware "stolen" by timidity
EXPECTED RESULT
everyone plays nice and smooth GI MIDI sounds via built in audio
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.10 using Minuet (18.04.3)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Yeah, this isn't really a bug with Minuet, but Timidity appears to be pretty
old and crufty (2004 last change?) and this took me about a day to diagnose and
I'm not scared of poking around in the startup stuff and using lsmod, dmesg
etc. It's going to be a total pain to someone using this educationally.
