Hello.
I'd like to enable MIDI output to my card but I've no idea how to do so. Google doesn't seem to help much either, or maybe I just don't know what to google for. This is the output of lspci:

I'm using the Beyond kernel, for now.
Can you please tell me what I need to do to get MIDI output? If it helps, here's timidity's output when I try to play a .mid file:
Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192
ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 32768, period size 4096 bytes

No pre-resampling cache hit
And I get no sound output.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

you need to install a sound-fond , there are two choices in aur.
install them then edit /etc/timidity to point to them then it will work

Do you know the package name? Can't seem to find it.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it. For those interested, it's called soundfont-sgm180

One is:
soundfont-sgm180 1.5-1

Ok, so timidity works now. I can't seem to be able to use Rosegarden, however. Is it something different?
