Audio not working in Musescore 3

• Mar 16, 2021 - 13:19

Hi,
I recently have had the issue that no audio devices show up in my preferences on musescore, and that I am unable to playback any scores. I have tried a number of different fixes but to no avail.

In your taskbar, right click on the speaker icon. Select 'Sound". Then "playback. Whatever you are using should be the default device. If not, you can make it so.
With MuseScore open, Right click the speaker icon on the taskbar. This time select "Open volume mixer". You should see your default playback device and MuseScore listed.
But first,I would strip your system down to no external stuff and get MuseScore working that way. Then add tings back in.

I just realized I don't think it's on Musescore's side technically...I think it's just the newer versions of Mac OS. It's only on the newer versions that this has occurred and even older versions of Musescore (2 and earlier versions of 3) don't work at all on Catalina or Big Sur. I think I'll just wait until there is a compatible version before I continue. By the way, I do say it's on Apple primarily because it seems that the majority of programs on Macs (particularly media-related ones) got really screwed up with these last 2 OS updates
