Crashes when changing audio output

• Sep 21, 2020 - 21:05

Whenever I change audio output device from Bluetooth headphones to internal laptop speakers and vice-versa, Musescore stops responding if I try to play a note or song. It just hangs until I end the process. I have to restart the program if I want to turn off or on the headphones. I'm using the latest version of Musescore for Windows.

I've been frustrated with this issue for 2 years or so. It happens every time I switch audio outputs.
There's an easy workaround:
Preferences -> I/O -> Restart Audio and MIDI Devices.
But it's easy to forget that you have to do this every time you change outputs and sometimes you forgot that you changed outputs while MS was open in the background. Go to click on a note, a chord symbol, or the playback button and whoops, MuseScore is frozen now.
