Hi,

I'm having problems running Fluidsynth as a service

fluidsynth --version
FluidSynth runtime version 2.3.1
FluidSynth executable version 2.3.1
Sample type=double

If I run Fluidsynth as a service, this is what gets written to the systemd
log:

systemctl status fluidsynth
○ fluidsynth.service - FluidSynth Daemon
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fluidsynth.service; enabled;

This is the config file the service is using:
/etc/fluidsynth.conf
#
set audio.driver alsa
set audio.alsa.device=hw:1

However, if I run Fluidsynth as a user, like so -
fluidsynth --audio-driver=alsa /usr/share/soundfonts/default.sf2

Then it works perfectly.

I'd prefer to have it start as a service and not require the user to run it
manually, if possible.

Is there a way? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for taking the time to read
