You should get sound using "timidity -iA -Os" command if you don't have jack installed.

If jack is installed, Rosegarden starts it automatically (by default) and you have to follow that steps to get sound:
-1) Start Rosegarden, but don't load any file (Rosegarden doesn't see any midi port as Timidity is not running still)
-2) Start timidity with: "timidity -iA -Oj" (as Jack is now started, Timidity can connect to it)
-3) Load a file to play in Rosegarden (which now sees the midi ports from Timidity) then play it.

You can close this bug.

I din't trie the first solution, but the second, using Jack works. I tried it several times, in different ways, starting, stopping the computer or Jack. Every time I've got midi sounds. It's good to me.

Thank you
