Playback isn't Working
Today when I went into my score and tried to play it, the playback wouldn't work. I've tried multiple things, but nothing's worked. If you've had a similar problem, would you tell me how to fix it?

It is always a good idea to provide more information when asking for help - what version of MuseScore, what OS, attach the specific score you are having problems with. In this case, I can guess that maybe you just updated to a new version of MuseScore and have incompatible settings left over from a previous version, like if you installed into a different folder. In which case, following the instructions for "Revert to factory settings" in the Handbook.
If that doesn't fix it, please say what OS and what version of MuseScore, and tell us your settings in View / Synthesizer (what soundfont you see loaded) and Edit / Preferences / I/O.

It's musescore version 2.0.1, and i have mac version OS X. I tried to find the sound font, but I'm not sure what that is. Other advice? I tried your first step, and it didn't work.

You tried "Revert to factory settings" and it didn't work? If so, then go to View / Synthesizer and see if you have any soundfonts listed, also press the "Add" button to see if any are available. Tell us what you see in those dialogs. Also go to Edit / Preferences and see what the Soundfont folder path is set to. Finally, tell the contents of Edit / Preferences / I/O.

I do not have any sound fonts listed, and the preferences tab isn't listed under edit. what should I do?

On Mac, the Preferences menu may be somewhere else - some sort of Mac-specific system menu, I think?
I found the preferences and I/O, but what do I do then?

Just tell us what options you see set. Also what setting you see for Preferences / General / Soundfont.
You are *sure* you followed the "Revert to factory settings" instructions?
