0.9.5 Mac - no sound

• Jul 24, 2009 - 22:57

Just downloaded 0.9.5 RC1 (revision 1944) on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I have no sound. The transport bar does move along, as though it thinks it's playing, but I'm not hearing any sound. Presumably as a result of this, I am also unable to export a score to a format like WAV, Ogg or Midi: it does export, but the file is just silent.

Sorry if this has been covered before; I couldn't find anything though.

Oh, if only it were that simple! The volume is definitely up and my audio and headphones are fine.
I have even tried changing the SoundFont that it uses in the I/O preferences - but it still doesn't work.

Yes, the Portaudio settings are right. I've run the program from a terminal and I think the problem is this:
load soundfont <:/data/piano1.sf2>
fluid: error loading sound font: Sound font file size mismatch
Failed to load SoundFont <:/data/piano1.sf2>DPI 360.000000(72) PDPI 72.000000(72) DPMM 14.173228

Where even is the :/data folder? I can't find it inside the application bundle.

My processor is a PowerPC G5 2.0GHz.

And every time I try to play a note it comes out with this (even with the default sound font):
FluidSynth error: event 0x90 channel 0: channel has no preset

Thanks for your help so far.

Yes, I did try another SoundFont. I tried FluidR3_GM.sf2 although I downloaded it from somewhere else. The error is the same: "error loading sound font: Sound font file size mismatch".

As a result of this, I might as well also point out that the drop-down menu in the mixer (where you can change the instrument sound) is blank. This would indicate that this is definitely a problem with loading the SoundFont. Here's a screenshot, including the error message in the terminal.

I am having what appears to be the same problem-- no sound output from the app. The volume is maxed, other apps are producing sound, just none from MuseScore.
1 GHz PowerPC G4, OS X 10.4.11, MuseScore 0.9.5 144.

I've read and tried the comments above, but it didn't solve my problem. Maybe some of you can help.

When I try to load Musescore it says:

Indlæsning af Sound
"/Applications/MuseScore.app"
fejlede(error): Afspilning vil ikke være tilgængelig.(output not available)
