No playback or MIDI sounds in Beta 2
Just installed the latest Beta 2 and now have no sound on playback or on MIDI input. I'm on Win 7.
When I open MuseScore v.1 it's fine. It's just v.2 Beta that's not working. Is there a setting for sounds now that I'm not seeing??

Check Preferences (soundfont folders) and Syntesiser, see http://musescore.org/en/node/42101
My bad. I installed to a custom location, so the program didn't know where anything was. An uninstall/reinstall to default location fixed the problem (I thought that was quicker/easier than editing the file locations in Edit/Preferences).
It seems very odd to me that a program can only function in the default location without having to edit it after install. I've never experienced that before. Most programs figure it out without user intervention. Perhaps that's what I get for messing with beta software.
Edit: Thanks Shoichi ... your comment appeared after I submitted mine ... we must have been commenting at exactly the same time :)

Excuse the overlap. When you have problems considers the solution:

MuseScore can function installed anywhere; thew problem here presumably if that you had preferences leftover from a previous installation that were telling MuseScore to look in the old location. A clean install would not have this problem.

I did have the beta 1 installed (in the default location), and intended to keep this installation separate, hence the attempt to install in a custom location. It didn't work, though, because the beta 2 overwrote beta 1 anyway.
What with troubleshooting Korg drivers as well it ended up being an hour or so wasted on tech issues that I should have been using to transcribe. BAH!
Thanks for your input.
