hi,
I went through trough the other posts and tried everything without success; there is no sound when playing the Tuxguitar and there is no message too.
In Tools->Settings->Sound there are:
Midi thoutgh Port 0-#0
TiMidiTy Port 0-#1 through 3- #4
Midi thoutgh Port [14:0]
TiMidiTy Port 0 [128:0] through 3 [128:3]
Java Sound Synthesizer
I tried all the above without success.
I tried both the Realtime and Tuxguitar Sequencers.
The sound works OK with other programs.
Any inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Could it be, that another program is "blocking" tuxguitar?
I encountered a similar problem. Firefox and Tuxguitar could not have sound at the same time.

it's strange that since hardy ( and pulse audio inclussion )
timidity and fluidsynth stopped work for a lot of users.
I don't have the exactly answer, because i can't reproduce the problem on my machine.
but, i can suggest you some things.
* make sure that timidity is running with alsa output.
paste me the result of "ps ax | grep timidity"
Or test start a new instance of it:
~$ timidity -iA -Os
Without close the terminal where you started timidity
now try select the first of new timidity ports ( often times 129:0 )
* try with fluidsynth if you can't make timidity run.
Iron, yes it happens if you have "Java Sound Synthesizer" selected.
it's a known issue of the java sound api described here:
http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/tgwiki/doku.php?id=doc:error_midi_unavailable_linux
we have to add to this document about "padsp" too.
that it is something like "alsa-oss" but for pulse audio.
If you have pulseaudio server running, you can run tuxguitar as:
padsp tuxguitar
and pulseaudio wil capture the java sound synthesizer output and wrap it as a pulseaudio plugin. (it's supposed you'll not have the OSS emulation conflicts when any other sound device is opened )

Go to "Tools -> Settings", and on sound tab you can look for MIDI Port option.
if timidity is selected, so you are using it.

You can make a script that exec this command, and add it to your autostarted applications

Thankyou SO much for that tip, Julian. I just solved a problem in Processing that had me stumped for the entire day! Minim and GStreamer now work beautifully together!
