All sound playback at half speed
Today, my MuseScore software suddenly came up with a weird bug. All sound is played back at half speed, meaning both tempo and pitch are affected, pitch drops a full octave. The bug affects all of my scores, even if I start a new one, so I assume the issue has to do with the playback and not the sheet music.
I tried reverting to factory settings, and even uninstalling and re-installing. Nothing happened. Same after restarting computer.
I am using only the basic Windows version of the free MuseScore software, no add-ons. The bug appeared on starting the app, the first time I tried to playback one of my scores.

I have been using the software for 3 days with no issues until today. I am able to change the tempo with the percentage widget, but the tempo on playback is still half what it's supposed to be, and pitch is not affected.

Update: issue resolved, or at least I found a way to avoid it. It had to do with my Bluetooth headphones.
Apparently the sound playback doesn't like it when my headphones disconnect and reconnect to the computer. Now that I noticed the cause of the bug, I suddenly remembered that the software crashing a couple times earlier, which I didn't really pay much attention to since computer programs crash all the time. Now I suspect the crashes were also to do with the Bluetooth headphones.

It (the playback speed) has, esp. with the bitrate it uses, probably 88kHz rather than 44
