MuseScore 3.5.2 laggy playback
I’m writing a piano duo, and when I play it back, the sound often becomes distorted and lagging. A recording is attached.
This happens in various places on forte. No notes are faster than eighths (quavers), ♩ = 160.
OS: Windows 8 (6.2), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.5.2.311459983, revision: 465e7b6

Plays fine here.

Any ideas why it won’t play fine here?)
I thought it might be due to resources shortage, so I restarted the computer and launched MuseScore only. However, nothing has changed.

Synthesizer volume too high?

The volume is −40 dB, and even with the lowest volume it still lags.

Did you install new software that you don't think should affect MuseScore but silently runs itself every time you turn on your computer?

I don’t think so. I’ve checked the startup tab in the task manager, nothing unusual appears there.

This also plays fine on my Surface Go. Basically a 10 inch Windows tablet.
Try a different API driver in I/O. I recently had to change mine from MME to WDS. Plus restart audio devices.

Thanks for the idea. I tried various settings in I/O until it stopped producing any sound (in other applications as well), so I had to restart the computer once again. After this I see that all preferences are gone and MuseScore suggests me tours as if just installed.
One thing that hasn’t changed is that it still lags as before :)

I forgot to mention the save button in the lower right.
What sound font are you using?
Rather than a restart, do a complete shutdown. Let the computer think about its sins, as my wife says. Start it back up after a minute or so.
Try removing dynamics and articulations. If it doesn't lag, start re-adding them until there is a problem.

I did press the OK button. The sound font is the default one.
Without dynamics and pedal it lags slightly less. When I play it after a long period of silence, it sometimes plays perfectly once or twice, but if I repeat this more times, it starts to lag as earlier.

Try the 2 bar tremolo in both hands. If that helps, try 2 in the upper part and three in the lower. Then switch. Tremolo in only one hand at a time. We're trying to see which part of the tremolo is causing the problem.
I guess we need to know your computer specs. OS, CPU, ram.
I've heard this type of thing before, but I can't quite remember what caused it. Heck I don't remember yesterday that well :)
