I'm running unstable but, assuming it's a SoundBlaster Live!, you need the
emu10k1-synth module loaded.
Easy fix is load it with modconf, an arguably "better" solution is to add a
post-install line to /etc/modutils/alsa:
post-install snd-emu10k1 modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth
don't forget to run update-modules. I load my default soundfont the same way.
I'll indulge myself with some pedanticism here and mention FYI that MIDI
doesn't make any noise. It's yer wavetable that stopped working... Anyway
loading the wavetable module is what you need.

many thanks. you were right and your solution may be more elegant than
adding to /etc/modules...

Actually, the file I referenced is used by the update-modules script to
build /etc/modules.conf. If such a line were added directly to modules.conf
installing a kernel via dpkg/apt-get would break things.
FWIW modconf manages entries to /etc/modules, but you can add entries with a
text editor and they won't be overwritten.
