Maybe stupid and useless answer, have you tried to check that in your audiocard the MIDI volume has not lowered to 0? Sometimes it happens to me without any reason (with Finale 2006c for Windows) that when I open any file and start playback I cannot hear anything, I go to audiocard mixer and find out that MIDI fader (and that one only) is turned all way down. You can hear radio broadcasts because they refer to WAV part of your audiocard.
My 2 cents.

Hello Listers,

Finale has obviously been evolving since I was last here several years ago, but I'm still using mainly 2000c with occasional forays into 2004a which my husband has.

Playback on both versions of Finale was working fine until a couple of days ago and now isn't, and neither of us has been able to work out why. It packed up on 2000c first. Playback worked at first in 2004 and then stopped working there too. The problem isn't a general one on the computer or my headphones as I can hear the BBC radio broadcasts as usual. I use Finale playback mainly for proof-listening, which I'm so much better at than visual proof-reading, so I really miss it.

I did find a mysterious instruction in the 2004 manual:

Playback Files: All options in the Playback Files group box are only used when a playback file is selected for playback. (If you're playing
the Active File, Pre-Scan Music must be selected in Playback Settings.)

I can't find anything in either version's Playback Settings that says "Pre-Scan Music".

All help grateful received.

Patsy.
