Echo when playing
Since using Musescore-4, I hear a nasty echo when entering notes and often also when playing a song I entered. It is so bad that I hardly can follow the separate note sequences.
This problem did not occur in earlier versions of Musescore, nor in other (music)programs, such as Noteworthy. My speakers seem allright as well.
Can this problem be solved?
I use Windows-10 on a desktop computer.
The Audio-output is through the standard installed Realtek High Definition Audio.
Best regards, JanVer

I have used quite a lot of time, trying to solve this problem. No solution found on version 4.
The solution for me was to go back to Musescore 3

If it's truly echo and not something else, then the obvious answer is, you have multiple devices playing sound. Like maybe MIDI out is connected and something else is playing in addition to MsueScore, or somehow you've set up a feedback loop where the output is getting reouted to input. In order to understand and assist, we'd need more info about your audio configuration, plus a screen recording so we can see'hear what's going on for ourselves.

Windows 10, MuseScore 4, I also have an echo on the input and on the playback. It sounds like a 4 or 5-bounce delay.

It seems that because I have MuseScore 3 and MuseScore 4 both loaded on my computer when I play in 4 it creates an echo. I can play fine in 3. I think that I will unload 3 to see if that helps with the signal confusion. I do note that in my Windows 10 device driver that there are 2 drivers listed for my Casio keyboard, perhaps that is another conflict.

In general, it's fine to have both running at once - I do this quite often. But it does indeed point to a possible factor in the MIDI loop you apparently have going on, where the output of MU4 is being routed to the input of MU3 and/or vice versa.

I unloaded 4 and 3 worked fine. I unloaded 3, re-installed 4.0.2 and there is an echo. Will use 3 for now but prefer the layout of 4.

I wonder if the cause of this midi loopback (or whatever it is) was determined?
I have the same issue with Windows 10 and Musescore 4. I don't think I have a midi loop problem, but that does certainly sound like what's happening.
It's a for to five ping echo of the note I'm editing in Musescore.
It also happens when playback stops (on the last notes played)
Any ideas?

To anyone still watching this thread....
The problem was happening while using a pair of Logitech wireless headphones.
I switched my windows audio source to another pair of headphones (connected to my Scarlett 2i2) and the problem stopped.
When I went back to my Logitech, the problem no longer existed there either.
So, Windows did something with the audio driver and switching off/on fixed it. I expect next time I fire up it will happen again. Good to know that clicking off the current headphones and then re-engaging them will fix the problem, though.

Audio problems are not as bad now as they were in earlier versions of MU4. But can still show up now and then. It has always been the case with MU4 that audio devices need to be plugged and turned on before starting MU4. And don't change devices while MU4 is running. It used to be that MU4 would crash. Now Maybe nothing will happen or maybe it will. Windows sees each audio device as a different one. Each has settings that need to be looked at and adjusted if needed. There is an audio How To in that section that talks about this.

Thanks for the explanation
