In case this helps anybody: I solved the MIDI issue by installing fluidsynth instead of timidity according to this guide: https://blog.geierb.de/debian-fluidsynth-als-systemd-service/
What's missing though is the connection of fluidsynth server to pulsaudio DISPLAY. you have to add DISPLAY=:0 to etc/default/fluidsynth this was done on Kubuntu LTS 18.4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793640 Title: Pulseaudio fails to detect sound card, while timidity is installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timidity/+bug/1793640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
