No Sound =[
Hi there,
I installed musescore today, but I have no sound, the soundfont file is there and I have the capability for sound but none is forthcoming. the sound options are greyed out and I cannot enter the synthesizer section of the display menu. Please help. I am using Windows 7.

Turn up volume on ur computer, but close other windows that may emit sounds. This is how i fixed my problem. I used to have volum on 5% and now for muse score i need 60%.

Go to Edit-Preferences - I/O, and withot changing any value, clic on Apply and Save. It works for my (Ubuntu, Tango Studio)
I've had a similar problem with Version 1.0 which was not present with earlier versions. Elsewhere another user suggested there's a // reference which should be /. He said it should be easy to fix, but I wasn't sure how, until I tried going back up a level in the synth settings box, to 'MuseScore'. I found that instead of templates there is another option, C:/Program Files/MuseScore/sound/TimGM6mb.sf2. I inserted that and it worked immediately. This would be consistent with the wrong // text, I would have thought. Hope it works for you.
I just downloaded version 1.0 for Mac OS X and when I start it I get the following error:
Loading SoundFont "/Users/Dad/Desktop/MuseScore.app/Contents/Resources//sound/TimGM6mb.sf2"
failed. Playback will be disabled.
I had the previous version and one of the files got deleted, I thought if I upgraded it should be fixed. It's not.

Try to revert to factory settings

Yes, I tried the default, but not surprisingly this merely repeated the fault, which was present on first starting up 1.0. I really do think the issue is related to the // problem, because it would fit with the symptoms, I would have thought.

I've just loaded Musescore 1.0 onto a different computer, using Vista 64 bit. And this time the sound worked. Has the download been changed, or is this related to the different operating system?

I can guarantee that the download did not change. So there shpuld be something wrong with your settings in your first system.

OK, thanks, lasconic, I'll check out what's different with the original loading.

The path including the "//" might be the issue for some. I've put this in as a fix request for the 1.x branch, just like the same issue was fixed for 2.0 trunk.
