Hi
Most probably your sound settings are not correct.
1. Use the *Edit>Settings* menu option. The *Setup LMMS* window pops up.
2. Click on the fourth (speaker with green sound waves) icon at the left.
3. In the *Audio Interface* drop-down list, change the option available.
In my case *SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)* option works.
4. Immediately the second drop-down list shows the sub-options for the
choice you made above.
Try all options one by one.
Do NOT forget to restart LMMS each time.
Each time, try playing some notes in the *Piano editor*.
Note that which octave you play is important:
Keys between C6-C7 are best representative of the sampled sound.
Sound at lower pitches (C4) may not sound good because of wavetable
limitations.
So even if your settings are correct, it may sound like a bulldog
thinking aloud where to bite you.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 till you get a proper sound.
******************
I just discovered that the *User Manual* (pdf file) does not have this
section!
I will correct that ASAP (in any case the manual is not updated for 0.4.13
yet).
Please let us know how it turned out.
Regards,
Narayan
