-        after that you can use up to 2 Gb RAm for soundfonts loading.+        And then there is one else thing: default memory size for soundfonts is 128 Mb. If you want to increase it, you must create a sound.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/

 +write in file /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf :

 +where max_buffer_size reffers to amount of RAM dedicated to soundfonts, in megabytes. in that case its about 1.7 Gb.

 +<note tip>    after that you can use up to 2 Gb RAM for soundfonts loading ( when define that in max_buffer_size, and do restart).
