Lost sounds with latest version

I recently deleted and reinstalled Garageband to the lasted version but appear to have lost loads of sounds - for instance Dobro Guitar, Irish Fiddle.

Can anyone tell be why or how I can find what I had before?

MacBook Pro 13″

Garageband won't install new sounds Every time I open Garageband a window pops up saying the Apple music installer wants to install your download of instruments and sounds. After I enter my password it always says Garageband is unable to install them and to close and re-open Garageband.

On Garageband during playback, the sound disappears in several fragments of the recording. A very strange story is happening with the work of GB. During playback, the sound disappears in several fragments of the recording. I currently have: Mac mini M4, UAD Volt 176 and Mac OS Sequoia 15.1 Nothing like this happens when working on an old Macbook 13 2016 and iMac 2012. I'm upset. Because the mini was bought for exactly these purposes. I have already rebooted GB and turned on/off the Mac mini from the network. Nothing helps. Do you have any opinions about what is happening?

GarageBand audio duplicating and repeating after recording is stopped Create new track (opt/cmd/N), record - audio track appears normal as it records, hit spacebar to stop and audio file duplicates itself after the play head. This is a new problem on previously fully functioning project. I can still record but have to select/delete the duplicate files after. Have uninstalled and re-installed GB a few times but this has not resolved the problem. Can anyone help? Thanks. Martin

You can try to re-index. Since the sounds are held in a separate place than the app, they should not be delete on an install.
