Sound Not Playing
The playback for MuseScore seems to be broken-- while it goes through the visual parts of it, such as the bar on the sheet, no sound comes out. I'm using Linux-- everything else has played but MuseScore. I know it isn't my hardware because I swapped out headphones and speakers with the rear and front audio out ports and the problem still persisted. I've tried messing with my sound software as well, to no avail. To make sure it was just MuseScore and not my notes, I tried putting the same music into another program much like MuseScore, and it played fine. Everything is currently at factory settings after multiple restarts of MuseScore and my whole computer. I tried using another sound font-- also didn't work.

"Everything is currently at factory settings..." Do you mean that literally? Did you see https://musescore.org/en/node/96811 and do the "Revert to Factory Settings" command under MuseScore's Help menu? If you didn't, try now.
Also, which distro and version of Linux? Depending on the specifics - including what audio sstems you have running - you might need to customize settings in Edit / Preferences / I/O. Or, you might need to check permissions on /dev/snd/seq, or make other customizations.
