When starting MuseScore 3, playback is disabled. Also View/Synthesizer selection is disabled. Edit/Preferences.../IO shows PortAudio box checked, but API and Device dropdown boxes are empty and have no selections available.
MuseScore 2 works perfect though. Using MME as the PortAudio API device there.

Just updgraded to 3.0.2. Same problem persists. Same symptoms as described above.
I've found a work around for this bug is to unplug all USB audio devices so the system only has one audio device to look at. I find this problem occurs any time I have (a) USB audio interface(s) attached allowing no playback through any device. Bug still present 3.0.4. Issue occurs on Windows not sure if anyone else is experiencing on other OSs.

Same issue on macOS 10.15.2 (Catalina). My issue was with connected headphones (Bluetooth) which I had to disconnect then relaunch Musescore.
