Frederico,
Thanks for the reply.
Turns out the noise issues also happens on a desktop install (Debian
Testing) with LP 2.18 and Frescobaldi 2.0.13 (the default in the Debian
repos). Intersting. All sound still works, just not playing midi files
from within Frescobaldi.
I *was* able to use timidity as a server with Frescobaldi. There are
limitations (changing the soundfont is cumbersome) but it did work.
I was using the FluidGM font, which is my normal sound font for use with
Lilypond. I attempted to use the commandline fluidsynth option you
suggested on my desktop (for testing) rather than QSynth and that failed
utterly. Since I use Frescobaldi, my SOP is to run Qsynth (which runs
fluidsynth), select QSynth from the Frescobaldi Preferences Midi
section, then it usually "just works" when I play a midi file using the
Midi player tool.
When running fluidsynth from the commandline I see a synth option in
Frescobaldi's preferences but selecting it does not product sound output
when I play a midi file and after a few seconds Frescobaldi crashes hard.
Hmmm.
Thinking that latest versions are best, I removed the default repo
Frescobaldi and downloaded the latest from the Frescobaldi website and
guest what? It all works as expected.
I will do the same tonight on the laptop I originally posted about.
Guy
