If I copy a document from the SSD drive on my laptop to an external USB HDD then playback of most instruments in a score is lost. Playback of the same instruments on the SSD drive then is lost also. Copying the document back from the USB drive to my laptop also fails to resolve the issue. The problem does not surface when I choose "Playback through MIDI" (excludes some instrument sounds I use). Maybe Finale forgets where its VST Plugins with ARIA Player's DLL files are located.

I tried gogreen's suggestion to change channels, which I did in Score Manager by selecting "Next available" channel; and that worked. But the problem eventually re-occurs, and I must again select the next available channel, which then fails to restore playback.

I downloaded the trialware of the latest Finale version, and playback was restored. Can someone throw some light on the issue?
