Terrible noises and chord and notes sustain for entire song
Hi,
I have a severe problem. I have acquired a second laptop and installed the latest MuseScore. Songs now sustain their chords for the entire song and all sorts of other noises start occurring, buzzing pops and the like - very loud. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem reoccurs . Henry

ll only very rarly fixes issues wih MuseScore, reverting to factory setting much much more often so.
Reinstall keeps the old (and possibly bogus) settings.

Reverting to factory settings has no effect at all. Henry

What version of MuseScore exactly (Help > About), What operating system, what soundfonts, can you share the score?

Thanks Jojo. I should ad that this does not happen on my current lap top - the one I have been using for some years and it has the latest version of MuseScore installed. I always update - apart from the age old problem that I discussed with guys several time with the system crashing if I accidentally dislodge the headphone jack which feeds my speakers, but I have learned to live with this. The problem is with the SECOND lap top. It has Windows 10, the latest Musescore. What I do is copy songs from my old lap top using a flash drive and then place this in the USB port of the second lap top and then download the songs into the Music folder of the C Drive of this laptop. The problem occurs with all scores. I have added a file- my version of Van Morrison's 'Into The Mystic'

OK, so MuseScore 3.6.2 on Windows 10
That score stems from a MIDI import apparently.
It plays OK here on my PC (MuseScore 3.6.2 on Windows 10 too)
Compare the MuseScore Synthesizer setting on both your computers
Make sure the sound drivers are up-to-date

Thanks Jojo,. The problem occurs with ALL songs. It plays perfectly on my original lap top too, as I said. Here is a song that did not have a part imported from midi. But I will check the sound drivers and synth settings.

Sounds fine here.
Got 'imported' from a pre-3.6 version of MuseScore (neither this nor the MIDI import of the other should play a roll reg. the sound wierdnesses though).

What about playing (.mp3 or .wav) audio files outside of MuseScore?
What kind of hardware? Laptop speakers? Headphones?
Look in Edit -> Preferences -> I/O and try changing API or Device.
Try 'Restart Audio and MIDI Devices' there.

In response to jm6stringer, the problem of crashing occurs no matter what I plug into the headphone jack of my laptops - headphones , active speakers or all types (JBL, Tannoy, Yamaha), and the problem of terrible noises and sustaining notes and chords seem only to occur on my second lap top. so it maybe that lap top has a problem, but thanks for your comments and suggestions. Also there is never (so far!!) any problem playing the files outside Musescore as mp3 as I often do. I often upload them as Whatapp attachments for friends to hear, and I always check them myself. I add these mp3s onto my iTunes library and they play fine. Henry
