Maybe this is more of a request now. I have come to the conclusion that it is working fine. I had some loud fans running and I could not hear easyabc. I do wish we could boost the volume like other programs mentioned above .. firefox, timidity, even fluidsynth2 from the command line. Thanks for your thoughts. ps. The vm is running pulse audio, the equalizer did nothing. but the sound control in mint let me boost sound to 150%. that then allowed easyabc to be heard, and I could reduce the volume of...

I'll keep looking. But firefox plays youtube fine. It now has midi plugin and mp3 plugin that works as expected. musescore was a little quiet, but a mixer setting allowed me to boost it. Still not sure where to look.

I saw your note and will give it a try. sound on the Centos 7 system (host) is not bad. Sound on the Guest (virtualbox and mint 20.0 ) is where various issues are happening. what recommendations do you have for a mint vm in virtual box? I can also I noticed that the vm was pulse audio yet I think most of mint is alsa? I can also run a different mint. I'll keep looking thanks.

I am not 100% sure I am using alsa however: apt-get install fluidsynth if I play without any parameters .. same sound level. fluidsynth /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 mr.mid If I add some options .. I get much closer to what I want and I don't know how to set that in EasyABC. fluidsynth -g1 -a alsa /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 mr.mid

I just noticed I can play around with timidity's sound. this is pretty loud: /usr/bin/timidity -A100,120a "Mr McLae's Farewell.mid" I suppose I could use timidity.. but is there a way I can do it with the soundfont? so I can still have note following feature that I really like?

I tried the older EasyABC version 1.3.7.7 with Mint 18.1 and Mint 20 .. but with python2 going away I ran into more problems. Version 1.3.3.8 installed fairly cleanly.

Linux Sound Low - Help - could be just Mint.
