Check the devices... I think you want to use /dev/snd/seq for this kind of playback.

For some reason, qsynth doesn't work with my system with the alsa drivers but does
with the oss drivers.. to change the device in qsynth, use the same commandline arg as
fluidsynth:

I use:
qsynth -o midi.oss.device=/dev/snd/midiC1D0

 I am trying to use qsynth to play midi files through jack.  I have
 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.

 Thanks for any help.
