I am trying to use qsynth to play midi files through

tried 3 different sound fonts. 2 make no sounds and the GM font just
crashes with output 'Killed'. fluidsynth does the same when using
that font. When I play the midi with pmidi -p 129:0 file.mid I see
green lights flash and such, but no sound comes out. I turned up gain
but nothing happens. Using Qjackctl I see that the connections are
right, it should be making noise. Pmidi seems to be ok with it...
But nothing comes out. I have tried 3 different fonts and 2 different
files having totally different content (one heavy metal the other
piano music). I don't know what to try next.
Noah, how are you starting qsynth ? Specifically, what fonts have you
tried ? I think fluidsynth has some troubles with large soundfonts, at
least I've been unable to use qsynth with the Fluid_R3 font. Works fine
with Creative's 8mbgmsfx.sf2 though.
Youve connected qsynth's audio output to alsa_pcm in the Qjackctl audio
connections panel ? Volume is up on the mixer ?
Please let me know what fonts you've tried. Details help. :)
Best,
