Playback not working on Linux
I am running on Arch Linux and I installed the musescore package from the repos and the muse-hub package from the AUR. I downloaded all the muse sounds in the hub and I tried playing in Musescore 4. The blue marker appears at the start and it doesn't move at all.
I checked the IO in preferences, and I only had the option to change the audio device, which has "System Default" as the only option. If I changed the buffer size, (which I don't know what it does) musescore just crashes. I also tried switching the playback profile back to Musescore Basic, which gave me the same results.
Additional information: I am using pipewire and I have pipewire-pulse installed.

That did it! To save others the clickthrough, in a terminal type:
nano ~/.asoundrcThen cut and paste the following:
# Default to PulseAudiopcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
}
Ctrl-X, Yes, then logout and log back in.
