Hi Doug,
There can be a lot of weird problems with linux audio but you probably haven't connected your midi keyboard with Qsynth (actually fluidsynth) through alsaseq. And I take it you use pulseaudio and not jackd, right? It might also be that you haven't installed any soundfonts but lets start with the connections.
Start Qsynth and have your keyboard connected and then check with aconnect and paste the response here:
aconnect -l

I suspect that I need a "sound font" but I'm having trouble getting one installed. Thanx for responding. This is tricky! --doug
