Musescore playback extremely slow and glitchy (4.4.1)
Updated to Musescore 4.4.1, and that was only when playback started to sound bad. While I was adding notes, they sounded very slow and glitchy. When I played the piece over, the playback was slow and glitchy, and the play bar thingy moved very slowly. I did notice that it was still mainly holding the same tempo, but just at a much slower BPM. I use Linux so is there something I can do to fix problem?

problem is, it automatically updated 4.4.1, and when I run "check for updates" it doesn't recognize updates and says that 4.4.1 is the most up to date. i guess next step is uninstall and reinstall 4.4.2

All of the 4.4 variants (including 4.4.2) have a problem with forgetting the sample rate after a while. I am constantly having to go to the audio preferences to reset the sample rate after several minutes. It will suddenly play in a glitch-like fashion, extremely slowly, making an echo effect... I reset the sample rate and then it's fine. Then it does it again. I reported the bug... but it seems to be a Linux branch problem (therefore low priority). I foresee it persisting for many more versions to come.

Did you report it on github? Could you send me a link to your issue?

What OS are you using? Linux? If not, please ensure you have 0.100.3 MuseSampler (you can check the version in Diagnostic / Muse Sampler / Check Muse Sampler). Have you tried changing the buffer size (Preferences/Audio & MIDI) to 4096? If nothing helped, please log the problem on github: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues

The OP is using Linux. I use Linux so is there something I can do to fix problem? There is no new musesampler.
While I was adding notes, they sounded very slow
Setting buffer to 4096 will only make it slower. I have 128.

You might have the same issue with the sample rate as the person above. Does changing it to 48000 (Preferences/Audio & MIDI/Sample rate) help? If not, please attach your diagnostic files (Diagnostic -> Save diagnostic files). And you didn't have this issue in 4.3.2, right?

I don't have the problem.
The OP said: I use Linux so is there something I can do to fix problem? and While I was adding notes, they sounded very slow
And i said: Setting buffer to 4096 will only make it slower. I have 128.
(and i would certainly not post my diagnostic files here for everybody to read.)

Hi I'm the OP. Thank you so much for helping me resolve issue. I tweaked around with the settings and found that by increasing buffer size, the audio became clear and normal again. Thank you again!

Actually, it's on updating to 4.4.2 that I experienced the most glitchy playback. The app is practically unusable because I cannot properly play back, unless I export and listen that way.
I'm actually looking for a way to roll back to 4.4.1. Is that possible? There were a couple of small playback glitches but it was barely noticeable.

Okay, Update. Based on a comment from a user on another user I tried resetting the audio buffer size, and this seems to have helped with this.
