No Sound on MuseScore 3

• Dec 19, 2019 - 18:48

I am running MuseScore 3.2.3 on a Chromebook which has Linux. Whenever I place a note or try to use playback, the program will show that it is playing yet there will be no sound.

This HAS worked for me in the past, but will not work anymore. I've already tried to factory reset it, which did not work. I really need this to work as I am composing a piece for a Drum Corps and they need it done in a week.

Other sounds work fine on the chromebook.

If it shows that is playing, then probably the volume is turned down or the tracks are muted in the Mixer. Attaching your score would help us understand and assist better,

Update: It's working now.

I have no clue why it's working or anything like that. The program just closed itself (I assume it crashed) as I was opening the synthesizer. When I opened it back up, the playback buttons were fully greyed out. After opening the play panel and unselecting MIDI input (then reselecting MIDI input) it just started working again.

It'd still be useful to try and figure out what about my system did that, but I've got no clue. I had already restarted the program twice before this (as well as fully restarting linux once).

However, the program is super laggy and glitchy. The audio never sounds clean and smooth like it used to.
