It is best to ask for help on the support forum and include more info on your system - what OS, what CPU, what audio hardware, etc. Pften there are simple settings you can adjust that improve things, but the details vary by system so providing that info would be important, also using the forum, which will be seen by far more people with system experience than here.
Yes! MuseScore 4 is impossible to use now, with the terrible playback, and I can't even go back to MuseScore 3. Nothing works with MS4's choppy, crackly, glitchy audio. Frustrated. Never using it again.
As mentioned, if you are experiencing some sort of audio issue, please ask for help on the Support forum where people with more system administration experience can give advice on audio settings that might work better for you. Be sure to say what OS you are on and what audio device you are using. Normally sound is great, but there are a small number of systems for which tweakis to the audio settings are needed.
I found a solution to this for Windows 10 with my computer. With "msconfig" you can enable all cores and maximise the memory used. (Win + R, enter "msconfig", boot tab, advanced options, number of processors - choose the highest number available, OK). Also click on the memory tab and choose the maximum available. Then restart the computer. This worked for me - playback is now OK and long delays have gone.
On my Windows 10 with 8-core AMD FX-8370, 16 GB RAM + Samsung SSD, MuseScore 4 is practically unusable. Startup time about 50 seconds, response to commands over 1-3 seconds, Format > Style... menu takes about 90 seconds to load, etc. CPU usage still shows around 5-10 percent, i.e. the problem is not insufficient CPU performance. I don't know where the problem is, MuseScore 3 works flawlessly and very fast.

True dude. I thought it was my computer's bad though, before I see this issue)
+1, and hoping for a optimization.
But I think this is a duplicate

Agreed. I like the direction it's taking, but it's unusable in its current state.

It won't even let you repair the software errors.

After this setting (max cores and memory) the comp did not boot. I had to dig in the net to find the way to undo it.
So no medicine for everyone.
EDIT It looks like MS4 uses only one core.

The issue with loading of Format > Style dialog is known (but yet unresolved) and different from the issue at hand here
the music plays too slow and too high
