I found that the package noteedit appears to be workable for hearing

synthesis on my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 model 0220) and setting the
volume level on "synth" on the input settings on kmix.

What does

aplaymidi -l

tell you?

Do you need to load a soundfont into your sound-card in order to enable
hardware MIDI playback? (I use the program asfxload from awesfx).

Yeah, I just figured the soundfont thing out. I was thinking it was
somehow built in the soundcard, but I recall now that there was just a
basic GM soundfont installed with the Windows utilities for it.
Playing MIDI from my keyboard or a sequencer works now, but I still
can't get anything out of Timidity. I can playback a MIDI file from
Rosegarden, which is probably not too much work for the amount of MIDI
files I listen to.

Sending to the Emu10k1 Wavetable now plays sound.
Thanks!
