I am unable to get any sound out of Sibelius 8.5.1 for Windows. My speakers and headphones work with other applications.

I have the configuration set to Sibelius 7 sounds. I have tried testing all 5 of the interfaces available under Audio Engine Options, but still no sound. What am I missing?

In Playback devices, make sure Sibelius Player is the active device. Then open mixer (hit "m" on your keyboard) and make sure the Sibelius player fader is up to 0.0.
This is assuming that you installed the sounds in the default location. Or at least that Sibelius knows where to find them.

Bob,

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried those steps, and still no sound.

Regards.

When Sib is playing, is there any movement from the mixer faders?
Check that the output device in your computer's sound system (in the task bar rhs) matches the one sibelius is actually using.
