I have the same problem with my bluetooth headphones. This is a pretty poor introduction to Musescore. Why is this basic feature of music creation still a bug in this software?

Every system is unfortunately different - different devices, different drivers, etc. While MuseScore works perfectly out of the box with 99.99% of all of them, there are always those 0.01% of deivde drivers that are incompatible for whatever reason. Or other conflicts that can occur, such as with other software. If you've verified you've connected the device before starting MsueScore and still aren't getting sound, see https://musescore.org/en/node/96811 for troubleshooting tips.

This might not apply, but the Play button and other features gray out when in Lyrics mode, and maybe others. Be sure you are in normal editing mode (if in lyric mode, click somewhere in the margin of the score to leave lyric mode).
