====================================================================== The only supported sound output is currently JACK. You should make sure jackd is running (jackd -r -d oss), then enable it in MuseScore preferences: Edit -> Preferences -> I/O -> [X] Use internal synthesizer -> -> [X] JACK Audio Server Restart MuseScore, and the sound should work. You may still need to select different JACK ports for left/right channel in preferences. ====================================================================== Also, CJK users may want to install some of chinese/qt4-codecs-cn chinese/qt4-codecs-tw japanese/qt4-codecs-jp korean/qt4-codecs-kr ports for legacy-encoding text to be displayed correctly. ======================================================================
