I’ve some problems running MIDI: i’m unable to hear MIDI generated by TuxGuitar or Guitar PRO for few days…
I’ve started “timidity” from my Gnome engine typing:
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> timidity -iA -Os
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
Can't open pcm device 'default'.
Couldn't open ALSA pcm device (`s')
So i ran alsamixer:
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> alsamixer
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused
And also:
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> pulseaudio
W: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied
E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> u
bash: u: command not found
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> su
Password:
linux-n7lx:/home/Cristiano # pulseaudio
W: main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
linux-n7lx:/home/Cristiano #
But i still can’t listen any MIDI suond…
What shall i do? I’m being crazy… :’(
I forgot this… Typing “timidity -ia -os” (caps lower) linux prints:
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> timidity -ia -os
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
s: No such file or directory
Couldn't open dsp device (`d')

The command is timidity -iA -Os , not timidity -ia -os. If you want to make MIDI sounds excellent , take these steps > http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Using_MIDI
Try again if this not works to reinstall timidity.
I’ve reinstalled timiditt but i haven’t solved the problem: i can’t hear any MIDI generated by other application (but if i open a MIDI-song with timidity i will hear the song).
This is what I watch into the shell typing timidity -iA -Os
Cristiano@linux-n7lx:~> su

Looks like you now have timidity working OK. I found that TuxGuitar needed to have the config changed to point at the Timidity MIDI “port”. Not at my usual machine so cannot tell you exactly haw to do it - was under one of the tabs.
