F10 for the mixer and there you can change the instrument independently of the stave.
Nylon guitar with volume a bit lower generally gives good result.

Hey,
perhaps I am stupid. But when I use F10 and opened the mixer... there is no possiblity to change the instrument for the chord mixer.
How could I do that. Please give me support.

"Unfold" the instrument in Mixer, then for the Chord Syms.'s channel change the instrument
Exactly as described in the handbook, linked to below

Thanks Jojo, Perehaps my problem is, that the sound drop down ain't have a choice list.
Only MS Basic...
Perhaps a configuration arround soundfonts is missing...
I already instalt MS4, yet. Now I must search for the sound font activation/import or something similar...

MS Basic is a MuseScore 4 (Beta) thing, Not sure whether or how chord symbols sound works there

First, there is no MuseScore 4 yet, only experimental pre-release builds intended for testing. Your original post didn't make it clear you were talking about testing MU4 as opposed to using the official version That's why the suggestions given so far don't apply.
In MuseScore 4, you cannot choose individual sounds within sounfonts indeed. Instead, you would need to select a different soundfont entirely, or a VST instrument, or use Muse Sounds.
But, in current MuseScore 4 builds, if your score is for guitar, the chord symbol playback should already be guitar also. Be sure you are using a current "nightly" build, not one of the older "alpha" or "beta" builds. See the Download / Software menu above and scroll down to the "development" section to access the nightly builds.

I am totally lost!
There is no instrument drop down in the mixer sound list
I can't find any possibility to load or activate soundfonts (I read the disscussions about)
Please you have a hint for dummy? Thanks in advance

Here is the handbook page for the mixer:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/mixer
find the "Channel display arrow" and expand the channels for your track and then select the chord strip and change the sound in the panel above.
I think.

Please post the exact MuseScore version you're using + a screen capture of your mixer

Note it will already be guitar by default if you use any of the guitar templates when creating your score.
