Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

None of my various MIDI devices show up in Midis2jam2 in Linux, making it useless.

Offending MIDI file Upload the MIDI file that causes the bug here.

All midi files sound like shit.

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Working like in Windows and Mac, where native MIDI devices can be used.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Not required. Picture a list of MIDI devices containing only the built-in Anal Gerbil ear torture device or whatever it's called.

System Provide your OS, and computer specs if applicable.

Arch

Thanks for the issue—I haven't done much testing on Arch. The device you expect to appear: is it a software synthesizer (a la VirtualMIDISynth), or is it a hardware synthesizer?

The list of MIDI devices is collected from the [javax.sound.midi](https://docs.oracle.com/javase%2F7%2Fdocs%2Fapi%2F%2F/javax/sound/midi/MidiSystem.html#getMidiDeviceInfo()) library. So if that doesn't see the device, it won't show up. Could be something Arch specific? I'll do some research.

Can you also verify that you're able to use the device in some other MIDI software on Arch?
