MuseScore 4 - no sound with Sound Blaster AE-7
Hi,
Whilst MuseScore 3 works with no issue, I can not get MuseScore 4 to emit any sound, either playing on a midi keyboard, or playback of a score. When looking in the Edit/Preferences/Audio & MIDI menu, whatever sound device I choose, I am unable to select a buffer size (it remains blank).
I've seen that others have raised this issue, and I have patiently waited for each update to see if it is fixed. Is there any news about what the issue might be, and how it can be resolved?
I assume that this is an issue with how the Sound Blaster AE-7 and MuseScore 4 interoperate, as this seems to be what others have found. For now, I'll have to go back to MuseScore 3...
Thanks
Jon

Have you tried not using the Sound Blaster? Early versions of MU4 needed audio help. But not so much now. I used to need to use my Focusrite to get good playback. but not any more.

Hi. Afraid I've tried that. I have a focusrite as well, plus can pay sounds out through the monitor, but even when they're selected no sound comes out. Think I'd need to disable the AE-7 in the bios, which defeats the point in having it!

Shouldn't need the bios. If this is Windows you can select which device is the default. In control panel>Sound. Or disable it in Device Manager.
In general, a device has to be set as default before you can choose it in Preferences.
