Musecore Keeps CORRUPTING my Sound Card
My Musescore 3.5.2 recently started making making loud static noise recently. I had been messing around with the Windows 10 sound settings a little while back in order to accomodate a Jamulus session but Musescore did behave normally after that for a couple of weeks at least. Then all of a sudden the white noise started showing up.
What makes this different (and more annoying to me) from similar complaints about white noice / static posts elsewhere is that once I've started up Musescore the only one way to get the sound back on the entire (Levono Flex5) laptop is to do a full restart.

One explanation for a restart working is that it also restarts the Windows Audio Endpoint Service. But doesn't explain why this happens to begin with. One of many possibilities is that a driver update might be needed. Or even a delete and reinstall of the current driver.

I'm assuming that when I was with the Lenovo Chat Tech. Help folks that's what we did, uninistall / reinstall drivers, although I can't say for sure whether s/he reinstalled the "Windows Audio Endpoint Service."
So I'm doing a restart of the three elements mentioned here. - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-sound-problems-in-windo…
I just wanted to thank you in the meantime.
Nope, none of that helped. - Dave
"Running Musescore 3.5.2 and as soon as I turn it on all sound functions throughout system yield nothing but static. Issue only gets resolved by restarting and then problem returns every time I start Musescore."
Update: I just followed instructions here:

and voila, problem solved: "Audio format was not set to default."

Thanks for the update.
Just curious, what was it set to? Though if you used the trouble shooter, it may not have told you.
I wonder what changed it.

I'm not sure what it was set to, Bob. I think the digalage box simply said that it wasn't set to the default setting and offered the option. I had been monkeying around with Jamulus several weeks ago and something may have occurred at that time but the problem only kicked in a week or so later, or at least that's when I noticed it.
