Dear friends,

I know this is not true "lilypond" topic, but I also know that many of you
have extensive experience using lilypond with various operating systems,
etc.

I have an old MacBook that I have repurposed into a Kubunty laptop. The
only serious issue I'm having is with audio ouput via Qsynth/Fluidsynt.
Audio works fine. I can test the audio successfully. I can play digital
streaming audio with Clementine. I can play lilypond midi output files via
timidity from the command line. All these work find.

But ... if I load Fluidsynth via Qsyth (which is how I use Fluidsynth on
two other Linux system) and then run Frescobaldi and play midi output
files, the sound is filled with so much noise it's hardly recognizable as
music. Sometimes the music will suddenly come through clearly, but most
often it does not. I've played with using both Alsa and Pulseaudio and both
result in noise. I have not, because I really loathe using it, used Jack
Audio.

So, two questions -- has anyone had a similar Linux experience where system
audio is fine, but Fluidsynth output is not? Second question is whether one
can use Timidity (in its server mode ) with Frescobaldi for midi output?

Thanks.
