No. This seems more like a connection issue.

Have you compiled yoshimi yourself, or are you getting it from a distro?

What's the version number - the latest is 1.3.5.2

I've not used Midish. Does it expect alsa or jack midi? If working from a
command line you can set yoshimi to match what you have.

yoshimi -a -A will set alsa for both midi and audio.

yoshimi -a -J -K will give you alsa midi and jack audio with the L & R outs
auto-connected.

yoshimi -? lists all the options.
