MuseScore 3.0.4 in 64 bit Linux

Hi, Gang!!!

I downloaded the last MuseScore upgrading (3.0.4 AppImage), in my installation, which is Ubuntu Studio 18.04.1 LTS (64 bit Linux).

Even the fact that some issues was fixed, I can confirm a regression: I DON'T HAVE ANY SOUND THE FIRST TIME I OPEN THE PROGRAM!

I have to perform a very weird and annoying workaround:

1) Open MuseScore 3.0.4.

2) Open the "Preferences" menu, tab "Input/Output".

3) Click on the "Restart Audio and MIDI Devices" button.

4) Click "OK".

5) Open a file.

Then, and only then, I get sound!!!

BUT... The cursor is "out-of-synchronization" (I have to move the mouse around the screen to get the cursor moves "in-synchro").

This behaviour didn't happen with the previous upgrading (the version of the Piano sound to all instruments).

SO... "Houston, we have a problem!"

I'm not a programmer, but... I guess there is some variable between the mixer and the audio/MIDI devices MuseScore interface which is not playing a "fair game" (maybe a variable name confusion and/or wrong job). Just my idea.

Blessings and Greetings from Chile

I'm using the same version but I'm not experiencing this issue on Linux Mint 64bit.

I'm still experiencing this behaviour, each time I open the program.

Sometimes, when I perform the described "work around" procedure, and I close the program and, then, I reopen it... I get sound!!! But, not always.

There should be some wrong thing between MuseScore and Ubuntu ALSA Audio driver (which I use).

Whatever, it is the same with Pulse Audio and Port Audio.

I insist, this seems to be a bug!!!
