Sound Font not changing or becoming completely silent

• Mar 28, 2013 - 20:49

I just installed MuseScore on a new computer, and I downloaded the Fluid sound font. However, when I try using it, MuseScore still plays the sounds from the default sound font. If I try using a sound font other than the FluidR3_GM.sf2 or TimGM6mb.sf2, there is no sound when I try to play back the score, which only consists of marimba and flute.

My computer is a Lenovo T530 and it runs 64-bit Windows 7 Home, and I'm using the current version of MuseScore 1.3. I've tried opening and closing MuseScore several times and also reapplying default settings under the I/O tab under Preferences, as suggested by others in different threads.

Everything works on my old computer, which runs Windows Vista.

you have already checked the path of the sound font?

Yeah, I've checked my file path. It's in the same folder as the default sound font (I had tried it in a different folder, too, but that didn't work either).

Okay, that appears to have fixed the issues I was having before. It sounds much better, and I feel like an idiot. Thank you.
