Welcome to the forum RinkoRinko! Here are all our important links:

I think your problem could be a usage issue. Perhaps you can solve this by watching my LMMS-Rookie-guide
Link in signature.

If that does not fix it, it must be technical. If so, then in your next post
please post your:
* OS (+service-pack-ver)
* hardware specification (ram & soundcard is the most important)
* lmms sound device chosen

Welcome to the forums.

1) Go the word EDIT at the top of the screen.

2) Select settings

3) Select Audio settings.

4) Go to Audio Interface. And in the selection box below it, change to portaudio or SDL or some other.
If you're using windows, SDL might be the best option.

5) Press Okay, to confirm/save the settings.

6) Close Lmms and then restart Lmms, to confirm the changes.

Tell us how it goes from there.

thanks for help, but still, nothing. even the indicator isn't moving.

When you say "the piano roll works perfectly" do you mean you can hear sound when you hit Play in the piano roll ? Or what is it that it does do perfectly ?

Does anything at all happen when you press Play in Song Editor ?

Steve

Did you do as in the Rookie-guide video. I wonder if you have pressed playback at all..
We do not have a Japanese guide im afraid, maby there could be something on youTube..

i meant that i can hear sound from the piano roll.
and i did what in musikbear's tutorial, i clicked "play" , i even saw other tutorials , i'm clicking play but it's not making sound..
and musikbear- what do you mean "japanese"?

My bad - i assumed you were Japanese, because of you username and avatar -nwm

I cant understand what is wrong.
If you click play the play-head should move..
Can you see the play-head, or is it actually moving outside the view?
That could happen if you have loop activated

Disable that if it is green (active)
Disable them in both piano-roll, and song-editor!
Then press play
If you cant see a play-head, then press Home, on your pc-keyboard.
Now you MUST see a playhead, and must be moving
Can you confirm?

the loop isn't activated ,both in the song editor and piano-roll.

and yes , i chose device.
only the piano roll making sound.
