Hallo, witch virtualizer are you using.

KVM/QEMU

Sure that the virtual sound-device is connected with the right hardware?

I can play CDs and listen to YouTube on the host, so I'm assuming the hardware is fine.

I don't know how this works here but doesn't playing MIDI files mean you need a MIDI capable sound card which generates the sound? Maybe the virtual sound-device is only capable to play audio?

Regards, Simon

Very good point. I will investigate further. I had two models in my head:

1) The Frescobaldi playback module did the MIDI-> sound conversion. 2) The virtual card passed the signals on to the physical card.

Perhaps your third model is correct.
