Hi. I'm running Tuxguitar on Debian unstable. I had previously been using Pulseaudio, but I had a lot of trouble with it so I deinstalled it throughout, and am now back to ALSA.
Tux guitar is not generating any sound, I'm afraid. Some diagnostics:
I'm using Timidity for MIDI, and this works; that is, typing
$ timidity filename.MID
on the commandline does produce output. In my Timidity conf file I set TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS="-iA -Os".
for aconnect, I get:
$ aconnect -o
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
I do have the snd_seq module loaded. I can play sound with audacious (for example).
When I start tuxguitar, I get the error "/dev/sequencer: No such file or directory". However I have googled for this and not found anything useful.
In tuxguitar, in my Tools -> Settings -> Sound option, the only MIDI sequencer option is the TuxGuitar Sequencer, and the only MIDI port is the "Midi Through Port-0 [14:0]" option.
What can I do to get this working? I don't know what the /dev/sequencer problem is....
Thanks!

"/dev/sequencer" is not from tuxguitar-alsa plugin (needed for timidity)..
if could be throwed by tuxguitar-fluidsynth or tuxguitar-oss.. if you have one of thes plugins installed.
if aconnect -o don't display timidity results, it means that your timidity daemon is not running.. so
first make the simple test.. in a terminal
timidity -iA -Os
without close this terminal.. in a newone..
aconnect -o
does it display timidity ports ??
if yes.. you should be able to select them in tuxguitar ( but as MIDI Port.. the MIDI Sequencer is a different thing )
now, i asume this worked..
the next step is check why timidity didn't start with your PC.
check in /etc/default/timidity.
make sure that you have ( uncommented )
TIM_ALSASEQ=true
(if it's not setted.. or if it's false.. timidity will no start with the init script )..
now check the init script ( as root )
/etc/init.d/timidity start
if it works it must create new ports to alsa ( if you still have running timidity in other terminal.. so on aconnect -8 you must see 8 timidity ports.. )

Hmm, that's very odd.
Everything you described worked fine. Running timidity -iA -Os and trying aconnect -o in another terminal did display timidity ports, and they were selectable in tuxguitar.
I did have TIM_ALSASEQ=true in my /etc/default/timidity (uncommented).
/etc/init.d/timidity start did start timidity, and from then on starting tuxguitar gave me sound.
I don't know why it's not starting at boot time, though. Will try to explore more.
Oh, I'm still getting the /dev/sequencer error, but I'll remove the OSS plugin, which I don't use, see if that works.
Thank you!

i think you are having an error at boot time..
try to see the terminal 1: Ctrl + Alt + F1 ( back to X mode with Ctrl + Alt + F7 )
i have on the last line
"Starting Timidity++ ALSA midi emulation"
Do you see any error message there ??
What i tried to say with "/dev/sequencer" thing.. is don't worry about.. it's not a problem..
i don't exactly remember now if it's the tuxguitar-oss plugin, or the tuxguitar-fluidsynth (when try to init oss driver ) but it can't be the reason of your problem.. timidity works for you, the problem is that it don't starts with your PC.
