Hi,
I'm having problems running Fluidsynth as a service
fluidsynth --version
FluidSynth runtime version 2.3.1
FluidSynth executable version 2.3.1
Sample type=double
If I run Fluidsynth as a service, this is what gets written to the systemd log:
systemctl status fluidsynth
○ fluidsynth.service - FluidSynth Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fluidsynth.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

This is the config file the service is using:
/etc/fluidsynth.conf
#
set audio.driver alsa
set audio.alsa.device=hw:1
However, if I run Fluidsynth as a user, like so -
fluidsynth --audio-driver=alsa /usr/share/soundfonts/default.sf2
Then it works perfectly.
I'd prefer to have it start as a service and not require the user to run it manually, if possible.
Is there a way? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for taking the time to read
