Not getting VST to play...

Everything was fine, and I tried to switch to MIDI out so the score would play through my Clavinova (which has some nice sounds I wanted to use).

But it didn't work, and now nothing seems to work. When I play it, the cursor moves, but no sound.

Any advice? Driving me crazy. Thanks!!!

Not sure why it isn't working. You have things set back to SoftSynth. What is the selection tint the MIDI/Audio drop down list?

You mean Output --> Source in the second screenshot? Only option is Speakers/Headphones. When I do "Test Audio Output" it works. I get a nice loud test tone.

And when I open my Mixer window and play back, it shows levels.

Are you playing through MIDI or VST?

Zuill

P.S.: I know your topic says VST, so just making sure. Also, if VST, make sure the levels are not set to 0 there. That could cause no playback sound. Another thing to try is to select Reload MIDI Driver in the MIDI/Audio menu.

Zuill, you just changed my life. Thank you.

May you have tons of friends, may your pets never die, and may your AC unit run for the next 20 years.
