It is built-in and can't be inactive, so the problem will lie in where its output is going. There are options to control the output audio under Edit->Change Preferences->Audio tab, but it would be very unusual if you had change anything there, but you can use it to see what the settings are. > I do not have this problem with other notation programs. It is possible to run programs that hog the audio output (so that another running program cannot be heard) - if you start up some other program e.g. playing a movie do you get the sound? > > 2) How can I set up the program so that it doesn't automatically > enter everything I play when I am testing out ideas? Yes, there are three settings, one just listening to the MIDI-in device, and playing whatever you enter with it, one that checks that the note you have just played matches the note at the cursor and moving on to the next note if it does, and finally the default Append/Edit setting which edits the note at the cursor or appends a note if you are in the appending position. There is a button for this in the controls that are visible if you have View->Midi In Control checked. I'm guessing you are using a Windows operating system? I don't recall anyone having a problem with no sound on Windows, are you sure you don't have the system sound muted???
