musescore no sound in ubuntu 16.10
I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.10 recently. Since then, Musescore 2.03 is working correctly except that it produces non sound during playback.
I have Alsa set up (the default Ubuntu 16.10 config), and Alsa audio is selected as I/O device in the "preferences I/O".
Any suggestion ?
Thanks
Alain

Thanks. Same revision for me.
Do you have Fluidsynth or Timidity or any similar program installed ?
When in doubt, run Help / Revert to Factory Settings and see if that makes a difference. Also try other options in I/O preferences.

Hey, it worked! The "Reset to factory settings" did the job. Thanks.
AFter the reset,the I/O channel in Edit/Preferences was on "Pulseaudio", and I ha dirty sound, with lots of additional screetching noises. I then tried selecting "Alsa", without changing any other parameters, and had the nce sound I was used to.
Great! and thank again

Interesting. Not sure why either of those things would be the case - that Pulseaudio worked poorly, or that changing it back to Alsa would then work better - but anyhow, I'm glad it did!

I can confirm that I got the exact same problem, 2 years ago with musescore 2.0 on Ubuntu. Since, I load musescore 2.1 and fall again in the same trap...and recover again thanks to this post.

Actually, I had a look to other set of post on this topic, and find out that some trouble may appear due to musescore.ini file (in .config/MusE/).
Deleting this file and coming back to the initial setting of musescore with pulseaudio rather than ALSA works fine also.
