Hallo,

encountered it. Possible that the qsynth config file got
messed up? I have no idea where it's kept.
That would be ~/.config/rncbc.org/Qsynth.conf. Perhaps try
removing/renaming that file, thereby enforcing QSynth to write it out
anew.
Also, did you check whether the original .sf2 file might have been
damaged somehow (like, getting corrupted during a hard crash?) Try
re-downloading it and perhaps comparing checksums with "md5sum".
debsums reports everything's fine. I moved away the config file, and
now it seems to be OK. Apart from GUI settings the major difference in
the configs are:
Now:
ReverbRoom=0.200000002980232
ChorusNr=3
Before:
ReverbRoom=1.14999997615814
ChorusNr=53
A quick test now showed the problem: simply put the reverb to the max,
stop qsynth, restart qsynth. W/o making any sound, it will go into a
distorted feedback loop that will fade away crackling. I guess that
would be normal, maybe. That w/o any sound the reverb engine would
'feedback'. In any case, I do not use such a high reverb level, but it
was set like that as maybe I tried something before.
Thanks.
