Change of headphone plug stops all playback until restart of MuseScore

• Nov 2, 2024 - 19:10

Test: Playing back through headphones plugged into laptop. Stop playback. Pull the headphone plug and plug it back in. Restart playback. Nothing happens. No sound. The cursor doesn't move. Close MuseScore. Restart MuseScore. Restart playback. Everything works fine playing back through headphones.

Sites on web browser on the laptop have no trouble with this change and playback fine before and after replug.

I can't find anything in the handbook or on the user interface about rescanning devices.

What am I missing?

Well known issue. Do not change the sound device while MuseScore is running. This has been true since AT LEAST version 2. If you must change the sound device, exit MuseScore, disconnect (for example) headphones and plug in speakers (or whatever), then launch MuseScore again.
