When playing back a file that uses Garritan Comcert & Marching Band 2 isntruments, I only get silence. Opening up ARIA player reveals that Finale isn't opening the instruments upon playback as it should. Finale will, however, load COMB2 instruments if I use "Reassign Playback Sounds" or manually choose instruments in the Score Manager, but the latter is extremely annoying and the former screws up all my specific playback instruments to the defaults. This problem doesn't occur with Garritan Instruments for Finale.

I'm using Finale 2014 for Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just for future reference: this ended up being caused by loading files created using the unregistered version of COMB2, even if it is currently registered. By using Reassign Playback Sounds and then re-saving under a registered environment, the problem is fixed when opening the file in the future.
