If headphones are already plugged in before MuseScore starts, audio plays through headphones as normal

If headphones are not plugged in before launching MuseScore, audio plays through system speakers as normal

HOWEVER....

(1) If headphones are removed while MuseScore is running, NO AUDIO when clicking individual notes, playback is disabled
- audio should redirect to system speakers
- issue only affects Musescore, tested various other apps plus system sounds and all work fine

If headphones are plugged back in again, still no audio and/or MuseScore crashes.

If MuseScore is restarted (app only, no need to reboot device), audio is back to normal

(2) If headphones were not plugged when Musescore started, but are plugged in once the program is running, audio works but still goes through system speakers (i.e. doesn't redirect to headphones)
- again, tested with other apps and they all work

Background info:
OS = Windows 10
MuseScore version = 3.6.2.548021803 (latest as of 15/4/2022)
Headphones are standard 3.5mm jack (wired)
