are you refering to this https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/TuxGuitar/#Kein-Sound ?
shouldn't you be installing tuxguitar-alsa? why timidity?
you aren't really explaining your problem very well.

was used to timidity.
In 'Tools' -> Plugins: is alsa-output plugin already checkmarked.
But ill install tuxguitar- alsa now.
lets see...
Thanks for the tip!
Update: 'tuxguitar-alsa is already newest version.'

I have had the same issue, workaround is.
Open new terminal, start
timidity -iA -Os
start tuxguitar, go to tools -> sound -> midi output, voila, timidity is available.
Then if you want custom soundfonts change the:
plugins -> java sound application (or something starting with A, acronym is jsa) -> configure, navigate to your custom soundfonts.
I don't have patience or skill to dig deep enough every time system breaks itself or when I break something because of lack of patience and skill.

Hey cherkie,
i got sound out of that software now! Thank you very much.
Will it only work if the terminal is running the command that you gave? It stoped working as soon as i closed the terminal....

oh yes, i have noticed that with various applications.
midi synth ouput is only available when the software providing it is running.
makes a lot of sense once you groked it.
i guess there's different ways to achieve getting that software running:
- when needed (start in terminal or from launcher), or
- via a systemd service unit, or
- ...

holy crap I helped someone with linux having been a noob myself!
this is my proudest linuxday to date.
- via a systemd service unit, or
how would you do that? I was thinking about making it start with starting tuxguitar, the only idea that came to my mind was writing a super simple bash script but I didn't know how to start so I settled on starting it in terminal whenever needed.

it would require a little research, into systemd user units, but often the installed package already provides some mechanism, so looking for that should be the first step.

that would probably be sufficient.
try:
#!/bin/sh
timidity & pid=$!
tuxguitar
kill $pid
(not tested)

is it possible to add two switches in bash to timidity: -iA -iO ?
so code would be
#!/bin/sh
timidity -iA -iO & pid=$!
tuxguitar
kill $pid
I am not on my home BL and don't have tuxguitar at work.

I just tried the last code mentioned.
It opened tuxguitar but i had to go to the settings myself again, then i did not show al the midi ports like before. infact, no sound yield.
(but i was thinking i need a triggered switch on the event of tuxguitar, but still i would have to browse the settings myself each time...)

PS: a delay (sleep) might be required before launching tuxguitar in the above script.
and i say it again, i didn't test it. it's simple & self-explanatory, and so should be its debugging.
