Audio stuttering at 96000Hz Sample Rate (all buffer sizes)

MIDI input playback has a lot of crackling and stuttering at 96000 sample rate.

This is with ASIO at 4096 Musescore buffer

Reducing the Sample Rate to 48000 eliminates the audio playback issues, but there is still a lot of roundtrip latency (I'd guess 50ms+) even at lowest 1024 buffer size.

OS: Windows 10 Version 2009, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-223362132, revision: d050fb0
Windows 11, i7 13700k, 64Gb RAM, Focusrite 2i2 3rd Gen

Would be great to see a roadmap on performance and optimisation in M4
