Very new to Dorico.
When I click on play, all indications are that it’s playing but not a sound comes out.
Also following the First Steps Live video on YouTube, when I choose “apply template” the list that shows up on my screen is completely different from what is shown in the video and I have no idea what to do.
Please and thank you.
Welcome to Dorico.
Yes, that looks very different, because John has a lot of other playback templates on his computer, so don’t compare yours with the one from John.
As a first step I would check if the Audio device is configured to what you have in your computer. How to do this is described here
Can you please show a screenshot of the list of playback templates you are seeing in your installation?
I guess, if you installed Dorico from scratch it should basicylly look like the one in the help (except for Noteperformer, which is a separate product you can buy).
Below the picture in the help you see a list of instruments available to you, depending on the version of Dorico. Are these instruments installed on your computer?
For an easy start I would select the first template “HALion Sonic Selection” and see if that gives you the playback sound for your score. Manipulating instruments so that they sound more perfect can be done later.

Thank you SO MUCH! Turns out switching the ASIO driver fixed everything. I had no idea…
And, given this post already has 30 views, I suppose many others appreciate your answer.
Cheers!
