I had the same problem.... ]
In my case a corrupt file was hanging around from 0.9.4
Try this.
Open Nautilus
Open Nautilus preferences / enable 'show hidden and backup files'
In your HOME folder find .config/.MusE and delete the file MuseScore.ini inside the .MusE folder
Restart MuseScore
MuseScore will be reset... personal settings will revert to default... but there is a good chance your Play Panel will be back :)

Thanks for helping me
but I' m sorry I've just followed the procedure you have shown me
no way the play panel has'nt come back also mscore isn't able to play notes
big trouble
what can I do?
From a terminal:-
mscore -F
did that work ?
If not... I am out of ideas as mscore -F should start MuseScore as if started for the very first time.
removing the .ini file in the last procedure should ensure a scrambled config file is nut upsetting the applecart on fresh load.

mscore -F on terminal open mscore correctly
but
the the answer is
gic@gic-desktop:~$ mscore -F
Suspending PulseAudio
Alsa_driver: the interface doesn't support mmap-based access.
init ALSA audio driver failed
init ALSA driver failed
init audio driver failed
sequencer init failed
so mscore works correctly BUT play panel is "off" and also sound is "off" i.e. I can't play any notes
what have I to do?

[see my related problem report, "Sound (play) problems; Ubuntu 8.10 / MuseScore 0.92"]
After more Googling I found this helpful link:(see Toby Smithe's response at the bottom)
So, I tried killing Pulse Audio:
archie$ ps ax|grep puls
18711 pts/2 R+ 0:00 grep puls
27065 ? Ssl 10:06 /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D --log-target=syslog
27068 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper
archie$ kill 27065 27068
archie$ ps ax|grep puls
18721 pts/2 R+ 0:00 grep puls
And, voila, using the ALSA audio selection works. Note: I have also installed fluidsynth.
[console output with Pulse Audio killed]:
archie$ mscore
Connection failure: Connection refused
Suspending PulseAudio
Connection failure: Connection refused

In reply to Aha! I got it to work by ral_
I had lots of sound problems when I first installed Ubuntu Hardy....
The issue was my sound card.......
It was suggested to me to disable Pulse all together and use ALSA....
Following these instructions gained me Audio Playback system wide .... additionally upgrading to Ibex also lost me audio system wide.... the same instructions worked to regain system wide sound for my hardware.

I hope this helps ... at the same time... try it at your own risk as the instructions are Linux OS specific and nothing to do with MuseScore.
