Do you actually have both a Soundblaster Live or Audigy and via onboard
sound? It would seem very off if you didn't and both of these modules
loaded succesully, but I figure it's good to ask anyway.
If you do acutally have hardware that can do the midi you should not be
using timidity.
If you don't have any reasons to have both cards you should disable the
via sound, or if you actually want both you should create a file
in /etc/modprobe.d with options to index the cards and also following
the instructions from /usr/share/doc/awesfx add a line to this file to
load your soundfont:
#options for multiple cards.
options snd_emu10k1 index=0
options snd_via82xx index=1
#Soundfont option for emu10k1 compatible hardware should all be one
#line of text.
install snd_emu10k1_synth /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
snd_emu10k1_synth; /usr/bin/asfxload kawaistereogrand
#end
Your soundfont should be located in /usr/share/sounds/sf2

64:0 is the midi port so unless you have an external sound producing
midi device you won't hear sound through that port.
If you have more than one sound card it may be sending the audio
through the wrong card, but....

... there may be an issue using timidity as the alsa sequencer when you
are using jack. There may be something I missed, but I didn't get it to
work the last time I tried.
If you have two soundcards that could also be causing some wierdness
with asfx when it is attempting to load the soundfont.

It seems very odd that emu10k1 modules are loaded, but the stuff showing
the midi ports only reports port information for via and timidity and
that asfxload reports no hardware. I don't know if it makes a
difference, but as in my example above I leave the extension off of the
file name when using asfxload to load it.
Also is kawaistereogrand.sf2 a full instrument set or just keybaords
or piano or something? It sounds suspicously like the latter from the
name.
