Audio and Playback not working on Musescore 4.5.1

• May 3, 2025 - 20:07

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.

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?
