No sound
Hi.
This is the first problem I have had with MuseScore in two years of fairly intensive use, and I have no idea what has happened.
It worked yesterday, but not today. No sound from my files or from any of the demos.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled MuseScore, but no go. Music files and video play as normal, so my sound system is O.K.
I am running an ASUS laptop with Linux Mint 17 MATE and it all worked fine until yesterday when I booted up, opened an in-progress sheet and no sound.
Any ideas?

Thanks, but I have no idea what that has to do with my problem.

Did you follow all the links in that post? There are some good suggestionss there, including the suggestion to try a revert to factory settings, checking the soundfont in the synthesizer window, etc.
1. Does MuseScore 'look' like it's playing - that is, does the cursor move across the score?
2. Is the volume in the Play Panel (the shortcut is: F11) turned up?
3. Does a soundfont show in the Synthesizer? (Menu item: Display / Synthesizer - where you should see an entry with an .sf2 file extension in the Soundfont box.
Ultimately, you might consider:

(which is mentioned in Shoichi's link.)

Thanks guys.
Now I feel real dumb, I missed the most important bit.
Reset to factory settings fixed it. How the path to Instrument List in Menu item Edit>Preferences>General became so corrupted I have no idea, I've never even looked at it before this.
Once again, thanks.
