Make sure that the Kontakt Player MIDI channel is set to receive from
your MIDI device properly. They must be on the same MIDI channel.
If in doubt, set the Kontakt Player to OMNI.

Output routing is incorrectly setup. Open the Kontakt Player Audio
MIDI Setup / Routing tab and set the outputs to correspond to your
soundcard's monitor (Main) outputs.

Incorrect soundcard selected. Open the Audio/MIDI Setup dialog and
choose the correct output device.

The sound is distorted, playback drops out:

Your latency settings are too low. Low soundcard buffers (low
latency settings) strain your CPU more, so it may be helpful to
increase the buffer size via your ASIO control panel; or in a host, the
soundcard setup. For standalone, open the Audio MIDI Setup dialog
and move the output latency to the right until you don’t hear any
more distortion or playback is normal.

Your CPU may be overloading. Kontakt Player 2 CPU meter to give
you a quick look at what processing power is being used. If things
here look normal, then your computer may have another process
which is using resources needed for real-time audio processing. (PC)
Check the Task Manager (ctrl-alt-delete) or (Mac) Activity Monitor
(Applications/Utilities) and quit any processes which are using
valuable CPU. Usually it is a good idea to deactivate virus scan
software when working with audio.

I hear a noticeable latency:

The output latency is too high. Open the Audio/MIDI Setup dialog
and move the output latency slider to the left.

For PC users: Please note that some soundcards may not be able to
achieve a comfortable latency. If this is the case you may want to to
try the generic ASIO4ALL driver.
