Can't select audio device
Just installed MS on my Mac running Catalina and sound doesn't work. If I go to I/O preferences everything is greyed out and no option comes up if I click on the fields.
I already tired an PRAM reset, reinstalled MS multiple time and it still doesn't work.

Tried those but no luck, devices still show up grey

On your Mac try Finder/System Preferences/Audio. Normally you would only worry about that setting if you were using external speakers or other external audio output (like a usb audio device), but it's worth a shot. Plus a good old restart never hurts.

Thank you for the answer! Unfortunately even if I change the device on system preferences it doesn't work.
I tried it both with my external audio interface and the built in speakers but neither of those worked.

I know you had to jump through some hoops to install MuseScore. You installed the 64 bit version?
Also, until you get it working try only built-in speakers. Is Catalina the native OS or an upgrade on this computer?

Yes, 64 bit. I updated to Catalina

Might also be a driver issue.
At this point you might consider searching for "mac audio not working " on the web. There are lots of listings out there. Some want you to install their software to fix something, but you don't need it.
Or a new driver for your usb device.

The problem is every other application works just fine, only MS doesn't. Also you don't really need a driver to use audio devices on Mac since they use CoreAudio. My interface doesn't even have a driver for macOS available. It doesn't work with the built-in speakers either
Did you try the toggle 'MIDI Input' trick? That is, you click the MIDI icon on the toolbar a few times.
Shutdown and then re-start your computer?

Didn't work. Not sure if I'm doing it right though, the midi icon is greyed out so even if I click it it does nothing

Hi Luigi - did you manage to solve this? I'm having exactly the same problem with the MIDI

Hi Luigi,
I too am having the exact same problem. Have you been able to fix it, or is this a program issue?
