Hi Shelagh:
I didn't go far enough explaining my set up. I have a SBLive sound
card. I tried the -iA option
in timidity and it said the option was not compiled in. I can play
midi file from timidity though. Thanks for
your help. Maybe someone else will have some additional suggestions.
Still no sound from Rosegarden.
