On a Mac, there are a lot of issues with playback on MuseSocre 3.0 and up. Every time I play something back (mainly large scores) I get popping and crackling sounds.

The crackling and popping appears to be coming from the Fluidsynth synthesizer. One would assume that setting the mixer volume controls to 0 for all channels and the lowest possible master volume setting ( -3.00 dB) and sending MIDI out to a different destination would get rid of the problem, but it doesn't! No matter what, the crackling remains. Unless there is a way to get rid of the Fluidsynth playback altogether that I don't know about? Personally I do not use the synth and don't want it there.
