If I open a score in Musescore, and then connect bluetooth headphones, it won't play sound through the headphones.
I found that the only way to use bluetooth headphones with Musescore is to connect the headphones before even opening the application.
Comments
See #277835: Allow Bluetooth-, other Sound- and MIDI-devices to be turned on after MuseScore loads. Indeed, it's known that the some systems (especially macOS) don't always communicate device changes in a way MuseScore expects. Usually it also works to simply toggle the MIDI button on the toolbar, or go to Edit / Preferences / I/O and restart audio devices.
I had a similar issue with my Bluetooth headphones and it seemed like it it was going at .75 speed and a 4th a step off key. Connecting the headphones before the program solved it so thank you!
