Midi contains just notes, but doesn't do anything to create sounds out
of them. You need a synthesizer - software or hardware - to play the
notes coming from the Midi data stream. Try something like fluidsynth
(www.fluidsynth.org) or Timidity as software synth.

Or buy a midi capable synthesizer, that you can connect to the
midi-out of your cards.

ciao
