No play mode

I'm running MuseScore version 0.9.5 on Fedora 11, and for some reason play mode won't work. When I try to open up the play window nothing happens. Everything else works fine, what could be the problem here?
Take a look at the Linux section of installation.
I had the same thing and after a long google seach, I found that snd-seq was not loading. F11 has it shut off by default due to a conflict with pulseaudio.
On a command line, run "modprobe snd-seq". If that works then add that command to your rc.local.
I added a reference to your comment in the Fedora section. See http://www.musescore.org/en/handbook/installation#fedora-installation
Still doesn't work. I have a hunch it has something to do with Jack, though.
Also now I have no sound at all. How do I reverse that?
Remove the entry in rc.local if you put it there, then rmmod snd-seq.
Or reboot
Sound works, but I've still got no play mode. What else might be going on?
When is sound working? Are the play buttons grayed out or missing?
Could you take a screenshot of Edit > Preferences > I/O and attach it to a comment below?
Sound works all the time. It just didn't work when I followed the guy above me's advice. My play button's aren't grayed out, they just don't do anything. Here's a screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/3faa8c4b81acaf365548de99096069a02g.jpg
The image you link to is too small to read. Could you attach an image at normal resolution?
In case you are not aware. You can attach images to a comment on the forums. (Look for the "File Attachments" link when you reply, click "browse" to add a file, and click "attach" to upload it.)
How did that happen? Let's try again: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zygzx1yzmqz/Screenshot.png
Change device to hw:0
Then you will have the sound seq issue.
I do not use sound much on F11 as I am running it in a VM under VirtualBox. I do not like the upgrade cycles of the "Bleeding Edge" Linux's and use CentOS as the base OS.
I had a similar problem. Everything worked except the playback. I changed the sound font to something else (any other sound font that you can download), and then back to FluidR3_GM.sf2 - this then made the different sound appear in the 'sound' section of the mixer. I then made certain that Real time had been deselected on Jack and that hw:0 was selected on alsa studio device. Magically, it started to work.
Perhaps we could take a look at your Jack settings? Does MSCORE appear on the connections under the Audio tab? Mine was only showing on the ALSA tab until I made the changes. Are you able to connect the MSCORE outputs to the Audio out sockets?
I'm having the same issue with MScore 0.9.4 on Linex, If I look at the mixer by pressing F10, the volume control is red. The play panel will not show, and no sound comes from either score editing or attempts at playing pieces. No idea how to do anything with programming. So, any step procedures for this?
Which distro are you using? If it is Ubuntustudio, then most of the problems appear to be fixed in version 0.9.5
If you click on the download on this site and update your repositories as the instructions say, then Synaptic will automatically find version 0.9.5

I assume that you are using it through Jack?
Cheers.
I thought I posted earlier that I'm using Fedora 11.
I thought that I was replying to steamingspud. This heirarchical system of replying is very confusing!! There must be a better way of doing this?
I am having the same problem, only I use Windows Vista. Can anyone help me? I've tried what the manual has said but it just won't work!
Please create a new post and mention your MuseScore version and a precise description of your problem.
