Using headphones does not mut laptop on board speaker
I am using windows 10 and musescore 3. I have a new laptop and since then I have this problem.
When I use playback the on board speakers work whether or not I have headphones plugged in.
With other apps (Spotify, Youtube etc) when I plug in my headphones the on board speakers are muted but since changing my laptop this doesn't happen with Musescore.
Hep please before I drive the househol mad.
Thanks

Well, write better music. Just kidding
There should be an output setting in Preferences. But in general, make sure headphones are plugged in before starting MuseScore.

That works. Many thanks. Now to write some better music !!!
MuseScore behaves strangely compared to any other apps I know and continues to use the current audio output even when you plug your headset in and all other apps start using headset...
You can stop and restart the audio engine from the menu or just exit and restart MuseScore completely. Super inconvenient I know...

Actually no. You can plug your headphones after having started MU.

Sure. But MU4 does all that automatically if things are plugged in first. One step as opposed to 4.

Definitely. My tips was just to say that if you have not plugged it in first, you can still manage, without closing MU, to have it working. Of course, my trick is only working in MU3.6
