On Windows, right click the speaker icon, select Open volume mixer and ensure that your MuseScore version is listed there (you may need to scroll left or right) and that the volume is not muted. In the "Preferences" dialog under the I/O tab is a button that says "Restart Audio and MIDI Devices" Clicking this button often fixes audio not playing. You could in that case also try a 32-bit MuseScore version. if you're on a 64-bit Windows and MuseScore 2 has sound, but MuseScore 3 does not, the cause might be 32-bit sound drivers. If that is empty, try to update your sound drivers.

Make sure to apply the "Set as Default" button in the Synthesizer after loading the replacement SoundFont.Ĭheck Edit→ Preferences→ I/O ( MuseScore→ Preferences→ I/O on the Mac). if View→ Synthesizer shows you there is no SoundFont loaded, you can avoid reverting to factory settings by simply downloading and installing a replacement SoundFont. This will reset everything, not only the missing SoundFont.Īlternatively, esp.

If it's not there, or if View→ Synthesizer is actually disabled, one option is to restore MuseScore's factory settings. By default (and as of MuseScore 2.2), you should see "MuseScore_General.sf3" in the Fluid tab of the Synthesizer window. Check whether the cabling (between computer and speakers/headset) is still correct (unless it is bluetooth of course), no cable loose or broken (and yes, this can happen and has happened).įirst (well second), to verify the problem, go to the View menu and choose Synthesizer.
