Definitely thought it was just me. It messed up the soundfonts on all of my stuff, because I normally write for drumline, and I can't even access musehub now to try to redownload the drumline stuff. I hope this bug gets fixed soon, and that really was the problem.

As long as you didn't save your score during the issue, your soundfonts should return when it's fixed. Mine do. The Muse Sounds library is usually able to recognize which instruments to pair with which sounds, and as long as it's still your default sound library it should do this automatically.

Muse Sounds and none of my Musescore purchased libraries are available-even after downloading their temporary Hub "fix." I also have no access to Muse FX. It's great that the program is free, but one should NEVER use the ability to use sound libraries they paid for. Until this issue is resolved, MuseScore is unusable for me. Here is a work that used to use Spitfire Chamber Strings (Musescore version which I purchased); it now sounds bad. Fortunately. I'm primarily a Dorico guy. But, depending on the piece, I like to use MuseScore for the available sounds-like Spitfire Chamber Strings & Percussion, Berlin Brass & Soloists, etc. The works I've composed using those are now hopelessly generic-sounding.

I chuckled to my partner at the time I noticed MuseHub had fallen on its face, because I had just finished the first half of a project and was going to take a couple of hours worth of break before diving into the second half.

Seems MuseHub had different plans for how I should spend my evening... boooo. Hope it gets fixed soon!

So people's musehub soundfonts/sets, some of which cost money to purchase, and that reside on their local computer, are not usable because the musehub authentication server is borked?

That's utterly unacceptable. Whatever idiot okayed this system: shame on you. Dishonour on your whole family. Dishonour on you, dishonour on your cow ...

That's interesting... My sounds are stored locally in their own folder. Then again, I have to use the Linux workaround for not having the actual MuseHub app.
...
I wish the MuseHub team would work on improving their support before their sounds. However, running a service as large as MuseHub is probably quite a lot of work.

In reply to by quiescemusic

That's more interesting... Your said that your sounds were stored locally. Did you do anything or is it the way your laptop has to store it after buying it ?
Are you on Windows (sorry for asking...) ?
If yes, please explain me in which folder...
And what is the Linux you are talking about ?

Sorry for these questions...I have no idea how it works...

Is anyone even paying attention to this? It has been going on for hours upon end now with no end in sight. It feels unacceptable that I can't access even the FREE MuseSounds while this issue is occurring....

I can't log in to MuseHub. When I attempt to login, I am directed to their website. If I try to log in via my Google account, I just get an error. When I attempt with my email, I get this error:

Please provide the following details.

Failed to establish connection to restful service end point within timeout limit 10 seconds. Restful service URL: https://cosmos-customer-webservice.azurewebsites.net/auth/otp/email

There is absolutely no point in buying any sounds or apps from Muse hub. You buy these and they reside on your computer, but you can’t use them without Muse hub authenticating them. Complete BS. This is unacceptable and a complete waste of money.

Yes, it is VERY concerning. I've purchased most of the paid-for libraries, therefore not a small investment. I have also written a large collection of pieces and to have them dependent on an internet call-home that flakes out is far from acceptable.

Also, not having a "status" page to be able to check when problems happen is very poor showing.
We NEED a link to a status page on the musescore homepage. As it is I had to hunt hight and low to locate this thread... and also, am I the only one getting Esperanto menu entries on this website?

In reply to by Jojo-Schmitz

1) Yes, get a status page on musehub.com... I would put a request myself but I haven't got any contact with whoever is in charge.

2) There is no Forum on Musehub.com to discuss problems that I could find - hence having to rely on musescore.org.

3) Musescore Studio RELIES on musehub and is hosted on musescore.org so I don't think it's unreasonable to have some sort if status link, even if it would redirect to musehub.com

4) As an end-user it would much easier to find out what was going-on as opposed to cryptic error messages.
Maybe something you could discuss with the Musescore Studio / Musehub teams.

In reply to by Jojo-Schmitz

Hi Jojo, thank you for your help. I have submitted a request on the Musehub.com website:

"Currently, as of Friday 11 July 2025 the Musehub server is down and the app keeps returning errors about not being able to connect.

It would be EXTREMELY useful to have a STATUS page to know what is happening instead of having to post in various forums, or places like Reddit. It would also mitigate having lots of individual users reporting the same problem.

I understand that musescore.org and musehub.com are separate entities, but having a link to a status page on both sites would be very user-friendly.

I also understand that the current Musehub app has a bug which causes it to flood the server(s). Having a status page would reduce the number of people trying to connect while the problem wasn't resolved."

Hopefully that would save time and frustration for everyone :)

 

Hello everyone,
like many others here, I am currently unable to log in to MuseHub. This issue has been ongoing since midnight (CET) in my case, and unfortunately it still hasn't been resolved.
It’s upsetting that the paid MuseSounds can’t be used offline.

In reply to by Jojo-Schmitz

Considering that:
A:
the primary advertised download option on musescore.org is actually downloading MuseHub instead of a MuseScore installer
B:
Clicking on my account icon on musescore.org automatically directs me to musescore.com

it seems logical to assume that either channel seems valid for complaints.

In reply to by ComposerVIE

Yes Its still down... very frustrating indeed.

All of the muse hub paid sound fonts wont launch...
The idea of musesounds not working offline is just absolute rubbish!!!

Even if muse hub is not down... I might have a poor internet connection and musehub wont launch... I have to lean on midi sounds... I'll refrain from buying anything from musehub again... and I'll lean more on my kontakt based purchases...

I don't care about MuseHub, it can be down or not, that's not my problem. But I'd like it doesn't interfere with my use of Musescore. I have no more Muse Sounds, Ms Basics are awfull. Enough of that.
Stop making 90% discounts, just sale it for a fair price and stop annoying us with bugs, shutdown, etc.
Be professional.

If anybody hasn't seen, Musescore posted an update on Reddit. They are aware that Musehub is down, and will work to fix it once their entire dev team is available. In the meantime, they've created a patch for Windows users. They also uncovered a bug that ties Musesounds to Musehub, which shouldn't be the case (Free musesounds should be usable whenever, even when Musehub isn't working). In summary, Musescore is aware of the situation, and will work to fix it as soon as possible.

The way this software is managed is totally incomprehensible.
Fortunately you can get it for free and pay later if, and I say "if", you are pleased with it.
For the moment I would not pay for such thing. It's full of bugs, there are always quite big changes from one release to another and the way it works, if you try something a bit more complicated than basic use, is all but logical.
In any other software you can find functionalities in logical places, not here, objects properties are not where you can expect they are, you always have to search, and the documentation is not very good.
For the moment any search on google leads you to the third release, and you won't be redirected to the same pages of the fourth release but on a search page with many items but not the one you're looking for.
My time is not free, I consider my wasted time as a payment.

I can understand many things on the way free (both meanings) software works, and accept when it's not working as expected.
But this one is not really free, you have to pay for many things.

I would expect this is especially embarrassing for folks like Vienna Symphonic Library and Orchestral Tools, not to mention the others, who have a vested interest in keeping their customers happy.

Would just like to chime in and say that it is also not working for me.
Interestingly, some of the MuseSounds are still available (brass, harp, keys, guitars, percussion) but the percussion, at least, seems to have reverted to an earlier version where the drumset is no longer available.
The woodwinds, strings, drumline, choir, and whatever else there was is nowhere to be found.

Fascinating. Musesounds is completely down for me, as none of the sounds or folders are accessible through Studio.
When I try to open MuseSounds Manager (I am a Linux user), it displays nothing but an error telling me to check my internet connection and firewall settings. At first I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, checking dependencies, and various other things. When none of these worked I realized that this, unlike many MuseSounds issues, is not just a Linux-unique problem.

Is it too much to hope that after this whole disaster Muse Group will reconsider their policy and finally allow the sounds to be used offline — especially the ones I paid for?

Right now, I'm just sitting here, unable to work, waiting for servers to come back online.
I really can’t understand how something like this can take days to fix.

At this point I honestly wonder if a refund is even an option.
One thing is sure: I will not purchase anything from them again unless things fundamentally change.

In reply to by st111

I think after an issue as ubiquitous as this one, things will change.
Although many are upset about this, I think people need to realize how technical and time-consuming bug fixes can be. I can only assume they are hard at work trying to patch this major issue, and I'm thankful for that.

I just opened musescore and my musesounds are gone so I checked musehub and I got the same problem as you. I really needed to extract audio from a piece too!

Can someone let me know when Musehub is back up and running? Just leave me a comment. I don't want to bother opening and redownloading it only for it to never even load.

After some tries I managed to log in again, but it's very unstable, like it's on lifesupport. All of my purchased libraries are still there, saw someone further down the thread had some worries about that.

In reply to by olipolelus

I could login and am downloading the free Musescore sounds; however none of my purchased libraries are listed as "owned." This is still quite concerning, as the libraries I purchased are SO much better than the free Musescore ones. That's why I bought them. I hope that when they finally fully fix the Hub issue, it will have the records of those purchases we made. As of today, it's asking me to repurchase "Spitfire Chamber Strings" -which I bought already- for $49.99. Haven't checked my other purchases yet, but I expect the same as NONE of them show in my Hub library. SO FRUSTRATING.

It's still not working correctly.
I can now log in to Muse Hub, and it shows all my sounds as installed. But MuseScore still doesn't see any of them only SF and VST3.
I unistalled and reinstalled two of them, but nothing changed.

If Muse Hub sees the sounds as locally installed and therefore licensed, how is it that MuseScore does not?

Any ideas?
Except of un/install Musescore, I hate remaking all the calibration I ve done.

Thanks

Looks like MuseHub is back — I’ve just been able to log in and open it. However, I’ve decided not to go to the "Library" section and not to click "Launch" for "MuseScore Studio" just yet.

This isn’t the first “storm” in my MuseScore journey. There have been times when I opened files during a similar "storm" and, even without explicitly saving any changes, still ended up losing important elements like volume and panning settings, or instrument specifications.

So now, being wise, I am backing up all my recently modified files first. Once that’s done, I’ll launch "MuseScore Studio" and safely see what awaits me there.

Why is this annoying situation happening? when you download the Musesounds library it's located in your disk so it should work offline isn't it? it doesn't make sense that it's failing or is gone if it was installed on our PCs already. That so stupid, we shouldn't need to be connected to internet to make it work tbh. I wasted time yesterday to figuring out about this issue. So annoying.

In fact, you don’t really own the sounds you paid for — it turns out you only rent access to them, and apparently the rental is entirely at the company’s discretion.
That’s a serious issue, and honestly I wasn’t aware of it when I made the purchase.

In reply to by cadiz1

Is there a fix for Mac? I've been trying everything (even chmod -R 777 on the folders containing the MuseSampler executable that Musescore can't open), and it still doesn't work. The .dylib is definitely there in the right path with the right name, but it still won't open

In reply to by graffesmusic

Not true. Most professional sample libraries, Spitfire, VSL etc. do not require constant internet access once installed. The sounds remain accessible offline, permanently.

With MuseHub, you cannot even use the sounds without MuseHub verifying your licence online. So, in practice, you don’t even have local access unless their server is online.

In this case, I paid for sounds I can't currently use at all. That’s closer to a subscription model, only without the transparency of a subscription.

In reply to by st111

Excuse me. I was only replying to your you don’t really own the sounds you paid for.
This is true for all professional sample libraries.
e.g. spitfire EULA:
The Products (and all recordings and/or compositions incorporated therein) are the property of Spitfire Audio and are licensed to you only for use as part of a live or recorded musical performance.
If you can use the product without being online or not is completely unrelated to the fact that you do not own the sounds.

I now do receive the email with the verification code (OTP), but the app never shows a field to enter it. Instead, it gives the error:
"Failed to establish connection to restful service end point"
This happens across different browsers and systems.
Any solution?

I see a lot of people having the same problem.

I can log into MuseHub fine on macOS, but MuseScore still can’t access MuseSounds. The library is installed, but nothing shows up inside the app.

Really disappointed by how this has been handled. I’ve restarted everything, reinstalled — same result.

I’m just looking for some official news or updates from the team at this point. Anyone heard anything?

In reply to by alexandergon4

So with this error from Musehub, it turned everything upside down for me... Ok, it's now reading some sounds from Musehub to me but not ALL of them and I'm disappointed, if you know how to fix it, it would help me enormously, the problem is that in Musehub it appears that all the sounds are installed, but when I open the score, oops, not all of them appear.

you are right, although purchasing is not available but I was using the free musesounds that is available in musehub and it was working perfectly, until everything went off about 2 days ago. I am a very active user of musecore, and I have use the app for about 6 years . I have logged complaints to the technical team severally that Ghana should be added because we now have a large number of students, faculties and composers here who are using musecore and would like to enjoy the great sounds that musecore has offered. But I have still not gotten any feedback on that. The free sounds works perfectly here in Ghana, but I dont know what has triggered this error.

Me too... Among the two other OS.
Click on the Apple icon / System Preferences / Language and Region / General: "Advanced" tab, bottom right / What do you see in the Dates and Times windows? Are the automatic settings configured correctly? In short, are your location, time, and date correct on your computer?
