Kubuntu 7.04, SoundBlaster live 5.1, emu10k1 chip, TG 0.9.1.
Tuxguitar used to play sound tho with a slight lag. Installed alsa-plugin, no there's silence. Play button wroks but I can't hear a thing.
As soon as I disabled the plugin sound plays again.
Pointing TG at a custum GM sound font had no effect.

That's because, you don't have any software synthesizer installed. the first Alsa midi port "Midi Through Port-0 14:0" don't play sounds as default.
try install "timidity" and "freepats" from repositories
then edit the file:
/etc/default/timidity
and uncomment the lines:
TIM_ALSASEQ=..........
TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS=..........
then restart timidity as a daemon
/etc/init.d/timidity stop
/etc/init.d/timidity start
restart tuxguitar, go to the plugin config and select the timidity port "128:0"..
Bye

thanks for the advice but i can't save timidity changes cause the file is protected, this is the first step and for the next i don't know what is the daemon, can you explain :"then restart timidity as a daemon
/etc/init.d/timidity stop
/etc/init.d/timidity start"
Merci beaucoup (in french)

Hi..
first.. are you under Ubuntu ?? ( because i'm not sure if the official release has the /etc/init.d/timidity file... )
Well..
>i can't save timidity changes cause the file is protected
you must edit it as "root" or with "sudo" :
sudo gedit /etc/default/timidity
>i don't know what is the daemon, can you explain...
Well.. i'm not sure how explain what a daemon is on english (not my native land).. see it as an application server running on background.
you can launch timidity only doing (on a terminal):
timidity -iA -Os
that is the same as "/etc/init.d/timidity start"
but the difference, is on the second method.. the timidity daemon will started when your PC boot (but need first "/etc/default/timidity" configured to do the same as "timidity -iA -Os" ).

Thanks Jullian
That's quite clear to make my tuxguitar work very well with the alsa plugin.
Understand that i'm a brand new user of ubuntu and i don't used the terminal so easily.
thanks again
bye

Whow! Since I reinstalled my FreeBSD with OpenSuse, I've had some sound problems, and since moving to ALSA I wasn't able to play any sounds in TuxGuitar.
While using TuxGuitar-alsa, I got the error: javax.sound.midi.InvalidMidiDataException: cannot get soundbank from stream
But launching timidity as daemon and choosing the timidity port solved it..
Thanks :)

Hmm, well, actually I still get the Java error "cannot get soundbank from stream" and TuxGuitar says it fails to open the custom soundbankfile , but I can still play sounds though..

Hi silver. so time..
>"fails to open the custom soundbank file"
TuxGuitar show that error, when try to load a "custom" soundbank and it failed.. ( maybe not a soundbank file.. or file don't exists )
Go to "Settings -> Configure TuxGuitar : Sound "
you have selected the option "use custom soundbank"
does the selected file exists ???
>While using TuxGuitar-alsa
well i'm looking now, that is a bug.
the app don't should try load the soundbank if the alsa plugin is enabled. so try to set "Use default soundbank" to fix the problem.

Isn't the java error cause of failure loading soundbank? The java error is shown (in terminal) right before the error in TuxGuitar.
Oh, damn.. I specified TuxGuitar-alsa.jar as soundbank file. I just realized that I don't have to do that :) Um.. sorry, I've mixed things up a little.. silly me.
Default soundbank works as well.

>Isn't the java error cause of failure loading soundbank?
when java try to load a soundbank from an inputsream ( the selected file )
it throws:
javax.sound.midi.InvalidMidiDataException: cannot get soundbank from stream
then tuxguitar, catch that error, and throw the message:
"Failed to open custom soundbank file"
