Finale 2014.5, Mac

I have input a song into Finale with accompaniment and, when I use play back, the volume is off. The piano is nice and loud, and the voice part is almost indiscernible. I have tried changing the instrument from Choir Ahs to, for instance, Clarinet and Trumpet, to change the timbre and bring it out, but I can still barely hear it.

Here are things I have tried
- Set the base velocity to 127.
- Set the piano to mf and the voice part to ffff
- Set the piano volume low and maximized the voice volume (in Studio view)
- Change the instrument in the voice to Trumpet, etc
- Changed from Garritan to MIDI and back again

The most I get is the piano is quiet, and so is the voice part. I have used this before with other files and I have gotten the voice part to pop just fine. This is a new concern.
