Hi, Today I made an update of musescore on my macbook. And suddenly there is no sound if I use bluetooth speakers. I have two different bluetooth speakers that work well with the macbook, but after update musescore no longer with musescore while it worked perfectly before I updated. How can I fix the bluetooth compatibility?
Or is there a way to make the update undone?
Thanks

Go to Edit / Preferences / I/O and make sure to select the proper device there. Also, if that doens't work at firs,t do Help / Revert to Factory Settings and try again.

Dear Mr. Saputella, the issue or bug is in the newer version 2.1 for macOs. Installing an old version like 1.3 any bluetooth speaker works smooth. I hope this will help programmers to fix this mess in the new version.
Best regards

It would be helpful for development to get an information, if the nightly version of 2.2 work's for you too or not ( to download a nightly for 2.2 scroll down on the link): http://prereleases.musescore.org/macosx/nightly/

Dear kuwit, first of all, thx. for the idea trying a beta version!! Guess what happened.
Now, after installing MuseScoreNightly-2018-02-14-1516-2.2-2c808a8.dmg I tried bluetooth-headphone and nightly didn't recognize the device. So I tried version 2.03 again, the bt-phones worked. I tried nightly again, and guess what, now it recognized the bt-device and sound is ok.
don't ask me why!!
More curious... now version 2.1 also recognizes and play the bt-headphones...
to sum up:
1. v2.1 did't play bt
2. v2.03 worked
3. nightly didn't work in the first place
4. started 2.03
5. now all 3 version 2.03 / 2.1 / 2.2 work
I wonder if You find a reason...

More a workaround ;-)

No, not really.
I just tried 2.2Nightly and 3.0Nightly and neither of them work with B/T. The above "trick" or "workaround" made no difference for me. (and I'm surprised if it would given that the databases of the various versions seem to be disjoint). I cleared the system of all MuseScore files between each test.
Don't want to carp or anything; it's free software and volunteer maintained etc etc.
But, B/T last worked in 2.0.3.1 which was out in 2016. Since then 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0 have all exhibited the same deficiency. I'm not a developer (perhaps I should become one) but a user and when I am working, so as to avoid driving other member os the household barmy I typically do all my audio work using headphones and they are always going to be bluetooth (1. they do noise cancellation and 2. they're also used for normal listening). I don't imagine i'm alone in this regard.
Could someone with the smarts to look at the audio selection logic on MacOS please take a look and find/fix the real cause of the problem.

Could you also check, if a "pram" reset (whatever it means;) makes a change/difference for you (https://musescore.org/en/node/234811#comment-820667)?
