I don't know what could be causing the issue. You need to see if the
same problems happen when the hardware synth is not being used. If no
lockups occur when Rosegarden plays back to Fluidsynth or another
synth, then see if you get the same lockup when another MIDI sequencer
sends MIDI to you hardware synth. If so, then the problem is your
audio hardware. Is the hardware a PCI card or built-in on the
motherboard?
