Hi, so I could install Sibelius Sounds successfully but I am not able to hear it, not in Sibelius and not when I export it as a wav.
It did not appear any warning saying that there was an error in the installation or whatever I just press Space and it doesn't come any sound.
Ideas?

Is this 7.1.3 or 7.5.1
Did you install the sounds from a download or from discs?
Did you install to the default location or somewhere else?
In Audio Engine Options, Sibelius Sounds should be listed

It's a download, I checked the playback devices (selecting Sibelius 7 Sounds), then Audio Engine Options.

It says :

"Interphase: Primary sound controller (DS)".
Then the latency stuff then clicked on "Folders..." and added the root of Sibelius 7 Sounds.
Clic on close, restart Sibelius, but nothing happened.

Navigate to, c:(or where Sibelius is installed)/Program files (x86)/Avid and look at how big the Sibelius sounds folder is. It should be over 34 GBs.
Also the right side of the Playback Devices window should List Sibelius player as the Device, Sibelius as Type, and Sibelius 7 sounds as Sound Set.
Do nothing with the Folders button. That's if you add a vst.
Try a different audio driver other that DS.
In W8, I had to use MME because DS didn't work. When I moved to W8.1, MME didn't work, so I changed to DS.
