Hairpins are being ignored?
I have noticed on more than one occasion that when I have completed a music composition with several parts in it (which includes a number of hairpins), I noticed when I'm playing it back that MuseScore seems to ignore about half of the hairpins.

have you tried manually setting the volume change?
You'd need to share the score, for this to get investigated

Here is a small "test" sample. Not only does it seem to demonstrate that the "hairpins" are being ignored, but the slurs don't sound like slurs (and yes, I am using the most up-to-date version of MuseScore).

I don't see anything attached, but see my guess below.
Slurs are indeed among the markings that don't currently have a playback effect (well, an extremely subtle one, for some instruments only).
My guess is there are no dynamic markings before/after the hairpin (or they conflict). It's OK to make human performers guess how much to change dynamic, but MuseScore needs to be told explicitly, either through dynamics or via the Inspector.

And while we're on that subject, where could you tell me which dynamic markings MuseScore DOES respond to, and which ones it doesn't respond to (it doesn't seem to respond to the fermata either, for example, as per the attached example).

Fermatas affect playback if you set them to in the Inspector.
All the standard dynamics playback. As for which other markings have a playback effect, the list is constantly growing, and it's hard to really be too specific about because many markings aren't supposed to affect playback. But basically, repeats, grace notes, tempo markings with metronome numbers, most lines, the most common articulations and ornaments, etc.
