Audio and Playback not working on Musescore 4.5.1
Hey there, I used to be able to use Musescore like normal, but then something just stopped working all of a sudden. The audio when placing a note wouldn't play, and the playback would not work, no matter where I started from. This has been happening for a while, but I thought it was an issue on my end, so I disregarded it. However, when this became consistent, I thought something was up. I tried upgrading (not to 4.5.2 yet, however), and I tried closing the app and opening it, but nothing worked. I'm using Arch Linux, so this may be an OS issue, but I don't really know. Could you help me? Thanks in advance.

Start by updating (to 4.5.2).
If there's no improvement, go to: menu Help / Revert to factory settings.

I attempted both methods, but neither of them worked.

" I'm using Arch Linux, so this may be an OS issue"
I don't think so. For my part, I'm running Linux Mint, and I don't have any sound problems.
More importantly: to avoid various problems (and possibly the sound problem?), you need to install version 4.5.2 via the AppImage format. Is this what you've done?

Yes, I do have MuseScore downloaded as AppImage. It's always been like that since I started Linux.
