Bluetooth Headphones Compatibility
I have an issue with Musescore and Bluetooth headphones. My headphones will work on other devices and other applications/the internet but as soon as I enter Musescore, the sound will play from my laptop's speakers. What should I do?
Comments
Connect devices before starting MuseScore.
Be sure the device is selected in Edit/Preferences I/O.
Let us know.

Struggled for a second but I got it.
My device preferences were already set to 'Speakers/Headphones (Realtek(R)' but it wasn't working. I tried clicking it anyways and applying but it didn't work. I tried clicking 'Restart Audio and MIDI Devices' but that didn't do anything.
Eventually selecting a different audio option, applying that, then re-selecting 'Speakers/Headphones' and applying that worked.
Hope this helps!

Brilliant!!! Thank you :-)
I think I have the solution. Some headsets have both a mode with only output and a mode with microphone. For whatever reason your PC automatically recognizes your audio device as a microphone which isn't compatible with MuseScore. Just exit MuseScore, set your headsets as only audio device and launch MuseScore again. Now MuseScore automatically will set everything well. Hope it helps.
