No sound during Playback

• Jun 20, 2009 - 16:22

Hi everybody!

I use Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty jackalope)

I installed mscore 0.9.4 directly from Ubuntu repository... (# apt-get install mscore).
But when mscore loads, and I click on "start sequencer play" Button to hear Mussorgsky's Promenade for example, no sound is heard and nothing seems to happen. All preferences are the default ones...

Regards
Vas

Hi again!

I've just noticed a similar problem posted in this forum by Alan Jordan.
O.K. I solved my problem setting ALSA audio device to hw:0 as suggested by the Installation notes... It was set to "default" before
No need to install JACK control

Thank you very much!
Vas

Same problem on Fedora 10 x86_64 and mscore-0.9.4-3.fc10.1.x86_64:

$mscore

There is no file /usr/share/soundfonts/PCLite.sf2 on my system.
After changing Sound font in I/O tab preferences to some of files

$ ls /usr/share/soundfonts
FluidR3_GM.sf2  FluidR3_GS.sf2  VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2

cause SIGSEGV crash.
