GarageBand for Mac

I have a MacBook Pro. My GarageBand suddenly lost its sound! The sound now appears in "Music", but I cannot operate in GarageBand itself.

GarageBand not responding in Big Sur I updated my MacBook to Big Sur, and for some reason GarageBand keeps not responding every time I try to open it. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I tried deleting the GarageBand Sound Library and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I even updated to the most recent version of GarageBand, but the program still wouldn't respond. All I can do is Force Quit the application and that's it. Is there any way to fix this or am I just doomed? Because this issue didn't happen when I updated my MacBook to Catalina.

Help please...! GarageBand Won't Load Help would be great, please...! Trying to access GarageBand and I get the following message:- [ GarageBand unexpectedly quit while trying to use the Audio Unit “AUMatrixReverb” by “Apple”. This plug-in may require an update. ] After this, GarageBand will not load and freezes. I cannot seem to find a "plug-in" for this to receive an update - does anyone else have this problem? I'm currently running macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 after update today. Thanks for your help :-)

GarageBand recognizes MIDI Oxygen Pro but no Sound I am using a MacBook Pro 13" early 2015 with macOS Monterrey 12.6.1. I have recently bought a keyboard controller M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 and I am connecting both of them using the USB cable, but unfortunately, GarageBand is not playing any sound though it receives MIDI input. I know that MIDI input is being recognized because I have run the Audio MIDI Setup utility, including the MIDI Studio and the Test Setup option. When I release the key, there is an arrow that shines. Additionally, every time I am pressing a key in GarageBand I see that the Software MIDI track shows a green line that fades when I release the key. It even displays the name of the note or chord I am pressing. However, I am not able to hear any sound, whatever the instrument I am selecting. If I unplug the keyboard controller and open the app with it, there is a virtual keyboard and this time there is a sound that can be hear. I would appreciate your help.

I am confused as to what is going on here. When you play songs in GB you don't hear them?
