no sound with playback
I'm running 2.0.0 Revision 6e47f74. The volume is at 100% in both the Play Panel and the Synthesizer, and the blue cursor follows the notes. The volume on the MBP is also at 100% and the sound settings in system preferences are set to internal speakers; I get sound from other apps, like iTunes and Transcribe! I've opened and closed the program, and have restarted the computer. In preferences, the I/O is set to Port Audio, API: Core Audio, Device: Built-in Output. with all that still no sound from musescore. I'm stumped, what am I missing? Many Thanks for your support !!!

What happens when you tick PulseAudio and untick everything else (and then restart MuseScore)?
In reply to What happens when you tick by underquark
I don't see PulseAudio anywhere. I tried JACK audio server, to no avail.
Use Menu item: View / Synthesizer to verify a soundfont.

problem identified, there are no sound files in the Soundfonts folder. I just downloaded Arachno SoundFont, not sure what to do with it. I see there's also Merlin Soundfonts, I'll much appreciate your suggestions. Many Thanks!
If there are no soundfonts showing up, then your installation is faulty. Was this from one of the official packages, or a self-build? If it's an official package, perhaps you ahd an earlier incompatible beta or nightly build installed previousl and the settings are conflciting?
Anyhow, the solution should be be, run with "-F" option to reset to factory settings, and then MuseScore should be looking for the soundfonts in the correct location, and this will also fix other miscellaneous problems that would also result from having old setitngs leftover from an earlier incompatible build.
BTW, the correct result after this will be that FluidR3 - part of the offiical distribution - will show up in the synthesizer window by default. You can also out Arachno or any other soundfonts your download into your Soundfotns folder (~/MuseScore2/Soundfonts) and the will become available if you press the Add button in that same window. Arachno to me is not an improvement except maybe in some of the electronic instruments. Merlin is a name applied to a whole slew of soundfonts it seems, many of which are non GM-compatible, so I haven't really figued out if any of them are particularly good or not.

Marc, many thanks! problem must be from conflicting settings. I’m in the dark re ‘run with “-F” option. But what seems to have worked is from Preferences, I clicked the Reset button in the lower left. FluidR3 now appears in the Synthesizer window. And now my scores seem to play just fine. Thanks for the comments about Arachno and Merlin. I’m thrilled to have FluidR3 working again and have no need for anything else.
Should I run with "-F" to fix any other things I may not yet have noticed? If so, how do I do that?
Again, many thanks!
In reply to Marc, many thanks! problem by Sunra956
Glad that worked! By "-F", I just mean, start a terminal wndow and run "mscore -F" from there once. Depending on how MuseScore is installed, you might have to "cd" first to the folder containg the executable. Those sorts of detail are system dependent.
In reply to Glad that worked! By "-F", I by Marc Sabatella
running "mscore -F" from terminal results in command not found. entering "cd" "mscore -F" results in: -bash: cd: mscore -F: No such file or directory
In reply to running "mscore -F" from by Sunra956
In a terminal window:
which mscore
will tell you where the MuseScore executable is (probably in /usr/bin ).
just typing:
mscore -F
will probably run MuseScore and do a factory reset.
If it doesn't, typing the following should work:
cd /usr/bin
./mscore -F
In reply to running "mscore -F" from by Sunra956
Sorry, I just sort of assume people who are running Linux are familiar with command line stuff :-).
"cd" is a command to change to a folder, like navigating to that folder in your file manager. You don't type "cd mscore -F", you need to first find the folder where MuseScore is - say, /opt/MuseScore2/bin - and do "cd /opt/MuseScore2/bin", *then* you can run "mscore -F" - although dependent on how your system is set up, you might have to type "./mscore -F".
Maybe the "which" command shown above will work to tell you where MuseScore is installed, but that too will depend on how your system is set up and where MuseScore is installed. But hopefully you can use your file manager to find the folder? Could indeed be /usr/bin, might be /opt/MuseScore2/bin, might be something else - again, those details are system-dependent. Maybe when you installed MuseScore it gave you you some sense of where it was installed?
Or maybe you could find a computer-savvy friend to help you do this?

Also the " are not part of the syntax, just used here to enclose what you need to type, without those "
In reply to Sorry, I just sort of assume by Marc Sabatella
Again, many thanks for following me to chase this down.
In terminal, typing /usr/bin results in -bash: /usr/bin: is a directory
but then in the next line mscore -F results in -bash: mscore: command not found
and similarly, in the next line after typing /usr/bin ./mscore -F
results in -bash: ./mscore: No such file or directory
I tried showing all files in Finder (via terminal commands) but even with everything visible I didn’t find anything that seemed to help me to locate where musescore is. fyi, I’m running OSX 10.10.2 (14C1514).

Ooops, I think everyone here assumed you were using Linux. Check https://musescore.org/en/node/35956#instructions-for-mac-os-x
In reply to Ooops, I think everyone here by Jojo-Schmitz
wasn't y'all - it was my ooops. sorry I wasn't clear from the git go, saying "... on the MBP" didn't cut it :( Anyway, of course the instructions for the mac os x did the trick. many thanks!!

Weird, I would have sworn I saw "Linux" here somewhere. Sorry for the confusion.

it's all good. again, many thanks!

p.s. that mac factory reset terminal command resulted quite a bit of chatter like:
cannot resolve such and such, and some like items that I assume are correct as they're supposed to be, even though to me not being much of an 'under the hood' mac user they sound a bit off.
