This font is the one that's worked in the past when I've had MIDI
working. I do have others.

I just loaded the one with the largest file size, 4GMGSMT.SF2, and it
looks more like yours, but still doesn't make noise when I play MIDI:

[~]# cat /proc/asound/card0/wavetableD1

It seems to do the same thing as the command line players -- look like
it's playing, but not produce any sound.
