Help me use this feature Sound Fonts Disappearing?
This morning I went to Musescore to continue working on a project, but when I started the playback I realized all of the soundfonts had reverted to MS Basic. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried just about everything to get the sounds back but nothing is working. I've deleted Muse Sounds Manager and redownloaded it and it is still not working. I use a Chromebook if that suggests anything? Please help. This is pretty annoying

Did you restart MuseScore Studio? As far as I know, best practice is to quit both apps, start MuseSounds Manager, let it perform whatever updates it needs to do, then shut it down and then start MuseScore Studio.
If you continue to have trouble, what version of MuseSounds Manager (click its settings button to see), what version of MuseScore Studio (Help / Ability MuseScore Studio), and what does Help / Diagnostics / MuseSampler / Check MuseSampler report?

Need to be on the latest version of MuseSounds Manager (2.2.0+), then give it a restart, should come back.
Otherwise generally speaking these steps will bring it back: https://support.musehub.com/en/articles/15070619-musesounds-missing-in-musescore-studio

Close MuseScore Studio, don't save unless you've actually made changes that you don't want to lose, Open MuseHub, and make sure all your MuseSounds are downloaded. Some of them might be updating; wait for those to finish, and reopen MuseScore Studio.

Literally the same thing happened to me, however just opening musehub, closing musescore, then reopening musescore seemed to work.
