Hello. I have used Finale 2012 for a long time and never had this issue. Now that I upgraded to Finale 26, the volume level on playback is barely audible! Every other sound on my computer is still full volume, but when I do a playback it cuts it down to almost nothing. I have tried using the mixer to push the master volume and track volumes all the way to the limit, and that helps a little bit.

I'm used to being able to hear things clearly when I enter them in and play them back, now I'm straining just to hear it. I've searched this forum and other places, but I can't find a solution. I can't attach a video, but the playback is around -36 db which is way too quiet.

This behavior started in an earlier version, maybe 2014, maybe v25. I don't know that there is a fix. I generally do my entry in MIDI, but when I do work in VST, I also crank everything up. Not fun or easy. Have you reported this to MakeMusic?
