We were hoping that with the very advanced notice about the problem from us and others that Microsoft would have taken action, but as Reinhold points out in his thread, Microsoft has pretty much just ignored the issue. We decided to be proactive and thus will be rolling out an updated v 3.0.3 that includes an internal synth so that no one should be without sound. We plan to release this version no later than the end of October, but hopefully much sooner.

Just as an fyi, we have some soundfont resources listed in this thread near the beginning of the conversation. You can also find more by searching for "soundfont" here on the forum. There are lots of good sounds out there, and with the added capability of Composer 3.0.3 (to be released) to export a .wav file, you will be able to share those nice sounds with others

ttfn,
Sherry
