Playback of Chord Symbols with Inversions
I've been using MuseScore for more than 5 years and I have just recently discovered that Chord Symbols could be displayed. I was just wondering why Chord inversions (see attached) don't have a playback. Is there any way to enable this?

The Bm/F# should playback but might need to get spelled Bbm/F# though, or using German spelling for Chord symbols.
The /F# won't though. MuseScore doesn't "remember" that is is supposed to be a D9/F#

This is not German chord names. The OP means Hm/F# in german spelling, :-).
Just a note on what this notation means. I think it means different things to differnt people. For the OP it means an inversion where the chord should be played F#, D, B (from bottom to top), but others, like me, it only means that you should play a regular Bm with any inversion you want, as long as you have an F# in the bass (left hand on a piano perhaps, or a bass player)

I have never heard of C/E as meaning a forced e g c
Only as any appropriate C chord realisation (taking into account previous/next chord, melody, ...) as long as the bass is E
There are ways to notate e g c of course (6) but that's another type of notation.
But my knowledge is limited to a small part of the world.

Bm/F# playsback but as Bm only

It's possible your ear is playing tricks on you, or maybe your speakers are not rendering the bass note well enough, but Bm/F# definitely voices the F# in the bass. Try entering it in onto an empty measure then right-clicking and using Render Chord Symbols, you see the F# in the bass.

I can confirm that this inversion doesn't work in MuseScore 4. This is my score (https://musescore.com/user/98864/scores/11690953/s/_Px9fi). In the third measure (counting from the pickup measure), there is a G/D, but the root is still played as G. Not only my ear detect no root change, but the web keyboard animation also says so.

Ciao,
innanzitutto scusami se non parlo inglese.
Con MuseScore "si può fare"...
Guarda l'allegato; rendendo visibili gli oggetti, capirai come ho fatto.
Fammi sapere.
Buona musica
