Musescore 4 Not Playing Any Audio

• Mar 29, 2025 - 04:17

This has been a recent and constant issue with Musescore 4 on this PC specifically. I have tried the following:
- Disabling audio devices that I do not use
- Updating my Windows (I am on the latest version of Windows 10. I am not switching to 11.)
- Restarting my PC
- Uninstalling and reinstalling MuseScore 4
- Downgrading Musescore 4 versions (Went from latest to 4.2)
- Disabling 'exclusive mode' in Windows sound settings.
- Making sure the volume mixer is turned up properly in Windows and my Mixer.
However, when I use Musescore 3, audio works fine.

My specs:
Ryzen 5 5600x
32GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM
MSI B550 Tomahawk Motherboard
AMD RX 5700XT
2 TB Nvme ssd
2TB HDD

For audio, I use a YAMAHA MG10XU as my audio interface + mixer.

Thanks,
BH

So a basic part of trouble shooting is to start with the basics. disconnect external audio devices and get MuseScore to work with on board audio. If it doesn't work at that point there are setting or hardware problems. If it does work try the Yamaha again. Make sure driver is up to date. MuseScore is picky about that.
