Audio Crackling in Musescore 3+ on MacOS

• Jan 6, 2020 - 03:28

In Musescore versions 3+, I've been having an extremely annoying audio crackling issue that's caused me to stick to version 2.3.2. I recorded an example of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOOiwp_SSEM
All I did was open the attached midi file in the Musescore 3.4 Beta (the issue affects all Musescore 3+ versions), and record the audio and video. I'm using the default soundfont with no alterations to any audio settings and I'm running the latest MacOS Catalina. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your system is having a hard time keeping up. A smaller soundfont, more RAM, or a faster computer might help. Also search the forum for other threads on this that may have other suggestions.

I'm using the 2019 Macbook Pro with 8GB of RAM and when using a sine wave only soundfont and only one instrument, I get the same issue. I highly doubt it's a resource problem. Is there any way this issue can be researched because it's a major problem if the application doesn't work properly on MacOS.
