Can't hear playback
I'm new to musescore and just installed it for my first time. Everything looks great, but for some reason I can't hear any sound during playback.
I have checked the mixer and synthesizer settings in the program, Windows mixer settings, and playback devices settings. I have confirmed that I can play Midis in other programs and that all other sound works (when you quit the program without saving a sound plays for example). I've looked through other forum threads and searched online but found nothing. I reinstalled the program with no luck.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I don't use Windows but many others do.
Can you state your Windows version, MS version and what your settings are in Edit -> Preferences -> I/O and when the Windows users wake up today they might be able to help.

Windows version: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP 1
I/O Preferences: Portaudio, API: MME, Device: SPDIF: Digital Out via HP Dock
Best course of action is to post the score which doesn't play, along with your Windows/MuseScore versions.
Barring that, does the 'Reunion' example score, which opens by default, play?
Regards.

I can't get anything to play. I've tried custom scores and the default Reunion score but neither works at all. I've tried reverting to factory default settings with no luck.

Then, if it does not work, come back to SPDF.

If I have the volume turned up to the highest level I can barely hear it, but it's actually working now so thanks! How can I deal with the volume issues though?

to display the controls (see attached) while the song is playing
Right click on the volume control of your PC, check the mixer

Awesome, thank you that got everything working properly!
I had that problem-- could not hear anything when I tried to play an open score. I just downloaded the Musescore update. Replaced the old Musescore when it asked me if I wanted to. When I went into the updated Musescore, I could hear the playback again.
To check for updates (on a Mac), click Help, then Check for Update.

See: https://musescore.org/en/node/96811
and (option 2): https://musescore.org/en/handbook/revert-factory-settings-0
in the mixer there is green button "S" and a red button "M"
be sure that the "M" red button is not lit red. that is the mute button for your playback
