    I recently discovered the following problem, which seems to occur randomly: I have 3 Instances of VE (Strings, WW, Brass) running when I use Sibelius. Now, few instruments aren't playing. At the moment my french Horns are denying service: They are properly routed within Sibelius, and when I playback their part, or simply play notes on my keyboard while the VE Window is open, I see the level meter of this Instrument within the VE, but the Instrument's channel doesn't seem to send the signal th the correct output. The Instruments are routed to the master Bus. When I change it directly to HW Out 1&2 I hear the signal, but when I change it back to Master Bus the speakers remain silent. Also the level meter of the MasterBus shows no activity, while the Instrument one's still does. Today it's the Horns, yesterday the Horns worked fine, but my Clarinet 1 was on Strike. Now I quit the session and restarted Sibelius and reloaded the project. Now the horns are working, but ALL my woodwinds (which are in another VE Instance than the Horns) show this behaviour, i.e. each singe Instruments level meter shows activity, but the main bus remains quiet. What Is wrong? Can't I use more than 2 Instances of VE? Yesterday all 3 instances worked, just one single instrument within an otherwise working VE Instance remained silent. This is really frustrating. Setup is PPC G5 Quad - OSX.5 - Sibelius 6

    Hello Jan!

    This is odd. I haven't heard about such a problem yet and I'm not sure where it comes from.
    What audio hardware do you have?
    Have you tried it with the internal audio output? Does this problem also occur then?
    Did you update to the latest Sibelius and Vienna Ensemble versions?

    If only the first light of the instrument's level meter blinks, this indicicates incoming MIDI data and no audio signal. But I guess this wasn't the problem.

    Best,
    Andi

    Hi Andi, my Software Versions weren't too old, but there are defenitely newer builds in the user area. I downloaded the newest version of VE, but as my VI version was before buil 4017 i could only download this VI build, as I have - as the page advises - to resave all my songs before upgrading to the latest version. This will take some time ... On the first start with the 4017 build all instruments are working fine, but as the problem occured randomly I will keep watching it. Cheers, Jan
