Environment:

LinuxMint 11 64bit 2.6.38-8-generic
Hydrogen Drum Machine 0.9.4.2
Introduction
When I started this video tutorial, I thought I was giving you a short work-around for Hydrogen Drum Machine if you also experience a similar weird encounter with MIDI and Sound in Linux.
As far as Desktop Audio and Video experience in LinuxMint11 is concerned, everything works excellent.
Movies, DVDs, Youtube, Grooveshark, MP3s all works seamlessly out-of-the box.
Beyond that... a complex Sound System Architecture awaits.

Problem / Challenge
The Problem or Challenge we are facing in this simple tutorial is Weird sound, strange sound or no sound coming from Hydrogen Drum Machine. Hey guys, Hydrogen is an excellent piece of software. To my blessings, I have personally tasted it when reviewing various different Linux Distro Live CDs. So, I know it works beautifully eventhough I do not have much musical experience.
Until I started my video screen-capturing did I discover that it's weirder than I realised.

Environment:

LinuxMint 11 64bit 2.6.38-8-generic
Qsynth: 0.3.5
Rosegarden 11.06
Hydrogen Drum Machine 0.9.4.2

Backgroud:

I started my journey into Rosegarden in LinuxMint11 64bit just because I wanted to create some "original" background sound (using MIDI software composer) for my video tutorial.
It was a little up-hill task and thus I have documented in this video how I get sound to work in Rosegarden and Qsynth.
What happened was, I googled quite extensively to fix this problem but to no avail, wondering all the while if my configuration and settings were right. In actual fact, all settings and configuration were pretty simple and straight forward. Only thing is to repeat the 5 troubleshooting steps below. Be patient and take a break if necessary but don't give up. Sometimes, I only need to perform step 1 & 2.

This video tutorial will show you work-around solutions to get Sound to Play in Rosegarden and Qsynth when you are composing your music.
