I have another topic here that explains how I’m trying to get music to play for an old game that uses MIDI for its soundtrack. I’ve managed to figure out how to get it started as a daemon but I’m not sure what is happening when I run the command. Things aren’t working properly. This is the output of fluidsynth --audio-driver=pulseaudio /usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2

> fluidsynth: warning: Failed to set thread to high priority
I looked into setting thread as a high priority here and found a similar problem and output posted here.
I also messed around trying to turn jack server on as well.
Before going any further I figured I’d ask here and see if anyone might be able to help me figure out what direction to head in.
Here’s my inxi output.
