Rui and Mark, 

Thanks for the advice.  It was indeed a mismatch between the card and
the jack/qsynth/fluidsynth rate.

It turns out that with my card I am stuck at 44100k so I will need to
make sure that everything is at 44100.

Cheers,
Andrew

Rui and Mark, 
 
Thanks for the advice.&nbsp; It was indeed a mismatch between the card and the jack/qsynth/fluidsynth rate.

&gt; I use them both a lot but the pitches they produce are just over 1 tone
&gt; higher on my pc than another other pc or other instrument.
&gt;
&gt; All the soundfonts have the same tuning, it's inconsistent with the rest
&gt; of the world. My system plays cd's, mp3, ogg, wav etc files at the
&gt; correct pitch, the system clock doesn't seem to be more or less accurate
&gt; than you would normally expect.
&gt;
&gt; Thanks for any help.
&gt;

Is it by any chance, a mismatch between the qsynth/fluidsynth's sample
rate (default 44100Hz) and your soundcard driver? e.g. many cards nowadays
stick to 48000Hz internallly. That could be one reason why you're hearing
that pitch-tone shift, BYMMV.

Check it on each engine audio setup dialog tab.
