Sound Bug(?)
I decided to write about this again because some people said it's the software's problem because it happens every time it's open only.
Whenever I open Musescore on Manjaro OS, the sound seems to stay 2-4 seconds behind my actions and the monitor. It affects everything else that has to do with sound and sometimes you can also hear white noise when Discord is open along with it. Bizarre right? The white noise would occur in Ubuntu too but it would fix after a period of having Musescore open...
I'm really not sure what causes it... And Manjaro said that it downloaded all dependencies that Musescore required.

Does it happen with the AppImage too? Only that comes directly from the musescore developers

Uh, not sure. I used AppImage versions before 3.5 release in Ubuntu and those versions were also "bugged"( if it's not my system's fault). But in Manjaro I downloaded it through the official package manager.

Try whether the issue happens with the AppImage too.
If it does not, ask the maintainers of your distro

Okay... AppImage seems to be in worse state for me: It cannot open.
Okay backstory: Before downloading the AppImage version I already had the one from the package manager (pacman) installed. It supposedly also installed all dependencies as I said. And then I downloaded AppImage to check if the problem occurs there too. At first I tried opening it and it didn't work, I had to mark it as executable. Then I executed it and it started with the "setup wizard" (it's called like that right?) but it froze as soon as it opened the windows (which says whether you would like to send anonymous reports or not). And so I closed the window. After that I tried reopening it again but it didn't work. I also reinstalled it but still couldn't open it.
I also tried removing the version from the package manager but didn't work yet again.

Known issue with the telemetry dialog, you'd need to "Esc" out of it (which equates to saying 'No' to that dialog, no telemetry collected)

Alright thanks... It does the same problem after all: the sound is late about 2-4 seconds.

Perhaps I'm missing dependencies? Well, it's the only software I have related to MIDI.
I uploaded a new score & the sound is like 3-4s delay from the speed that the synthesizer inside musescore is moving! How to resolve it? No technical support given on their side. I tried using different computers, build in speakers, external speakers(via cable connection). None of it helped.

Yes my problem is kind of similar...
I suppose that from the long silence it's hard to figure out what causes it or whether something is missing...
Okay I found this: https://musescore.org/en/node/284568
But I'm not a technician to understand a lot their solutions... will try something tho.

It seems that Musescore asks from PulseAudio some impossible "latency requirements" but then and perhaps it's also a problem with AMDs... but could Musescore do something about this in the next update?

@Mini Tiffy ! It's easy to fix! You just need to modify one file: do the command
sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa
just read this part of the page and it will "probably" work! At least it did for me.
