Midi questions

Hi,

I have problems with midi-output on my OS11.2/Gnome. I installed
fluidsynth and qsynth. When I try to play a midi-file with note-edit,
the sound is very distorted, unrecognizable. That's on my snd-hda-intel
card. What could be the problem ?
I also do have a soundblaser live in the machine. When I take this as a
midi-output, I don't have any sound, unless I install a soundfont with
asfxload. Is it possible to have the soundfont automatically loaded on
boot ? I have seen something in /etc/udev/rules and /etc/alsa.d, but I
don't understand these.

P.S. with OS11.2/KDE fluidsynth and qsynth worked fine, but I had other
sound-isues, so I re-installed and used gnome, which seems better for
multimedia.

Thanks for any pointers and/or remarks to help to solve this.
