I've not done much of late, busy with other

update Linux Mint to
19.3 last week. Just tried testing various things and hit problems
with Jack.
I'm running jackd2 1.9.12~dfsg-2 and get noises with nothing running,
and when I try running
some midi files via Calf Fluidsynth, the noises are nothing like what
they should be.
I then switched to using the latest Yoshimi (1.7.1, thanks Will) and
that also produces
awful noises.
However, if I shut down jack, yoshimi happily switches to direct via
Alsa and sounds perfect.
However, my sequencer (home-grown) relies on Jack, and Calf Fluidsynth
also seems to be
fixed on using Jack.
Any ideas where to start tracking down this problem?

After trying various things I browsed the web a bit more and someone
raised the issue
of pulseadio. The AskUbuntu pages have an entry on hot to get Jack and
PulseAudio to
work together and recommended installing pulseaudio-module-jack (which
was already
installed( and setting the Jack options to issue:
pacmd set-default-sink jack_out
This has sorted the problem and my sound is back to how it used to be!
