I'm running unstable but, assuming it's a SoundBlaster Live!, you need the
emu10k1-synth module loaded.
Easy fix is load it with modconf, an arguably "better" solution is to add a
post-install line to /etc/modutils/alsa:
post-install snd-emu10k1 modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth
don't forget to run update-modules. I load my default soundfont the same way.
I'll indulge myself with some pedanticism here and mention FYI that MIDI
doesn't make any noise. It's yer wavetable that stopped working... Anyway
loading the wavetable module is what you need.
