## How do I hear the sound on Arch Linux?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Timidity in Arch Linux does not work out of box.
|
||||||
|
To use Freepats (freepats-general-midi package) with TiMidity, add the following lines to /etc/timidity++/timidity.cfg:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```soundfont /usr/share/soundfonts/freepats-general-midi.sf2```
|
||||||

Potentially needs to disable pulseaudio to use ALSA.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
JACK can be used by jack or jack2. jack has better logging than jack2 to see errors, but they work equally.
|
||||||
|
But JACK does not work out of box, needs to configure it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sudo sed -i "s|# End of file|@audio - rtprio 99|g" /etc/security/limits.conf```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sudo usermod -a -G audio exton```,
|
||||||
|
where exton is user
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
log out and log in
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
stop pulseaudio:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```pianobooster-fluidsynth```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
start pulseaudio after:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```systemctl --user start pulseaudio.socket```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note:* Fluidsynth works without JACK with ALSA out of box even without conflicts with pulseaudio.
