Soundfont Question

[scatherinch]

Hi,

I'm trying to run ancient visual novels on my machine. This trick used to work:

sudo pacman -S fluidsynth lib32-fluidsynth soundfont-fluid

#edit /etc/conf.d/fluidsynth - modify line as: SOUND_FONT=/usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2

sudo ln -s FluidR3_GM.sf2 /usr/share/soundfonts/default.sf2

systemctl --user enable fluidsynth.service

systemctl --user start fluidsynth.service

launch wine via japanese local with prefix (already stuffed necessary stuff into it): LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8" wine /run/media/HDD1/VNs

launch game, sound occurs, but no music anymore. It used to play music flawlessly with.

Why?? Can someone help??

EDIT: I don't understand. I got it working, but it isn't behaving like the daemon should. I have to do systemctl --user restart fluidsynth.service. Why? This should be running normally at boot. I used to be able to just go into wine, start my game and the service would be loaded and ready to go, i'd get the music, but I don't understand why it isn't working at boot anymore???

I've managed to figure this one out; but I don't know the reasoning behind it

Downgrading fluidsynth and lib32-fluidsynth to 2.3.0 has restored this daemons behavior to its intended function
