[Solved] No sound, though MuseSounds load (Linux)
This problem was probably due to pipewire having trouble talking to Alsa. All we had to do was sudo apt install pipewire-alsa and they started communicating. This solution is also mentioned here:

I have had this problem for a long time now, and I’ve read all the posts I could find on this forum and others (Github). The problem is I lack the technical knowledge to fix it my self, or understand what to do.
The appimage version finds the Muse sounds I’ve downloaded with Muse sounds manager, but won’t play it. Just the blue line as described by so many (png attached). When I install from the app installer in my system it plays the basic soundfonts but can’t find the Muse sounds. My sound unit is “system default” (png attached). I have tried changing to different sound setups on my system, I have tried with my external sound card. Same result - blue line, no sound.
Basic info
Tuxedo OS KDE plasma 6.1.5
16 gig ram
MuseScore-Studio-4.4.2.242570931-x86_64.AppImage
When I read the diagnostics files I get a lot of errors I don’t know how to rectify.
The file gets really long so I’ll attach it, but here are some errors I believe to be significant:
Please be kind, and understanding of the fact that I lack knowledge in how to properly use terminal, code and such.

So I am trying this again, please help.
For a while there I got Musescore to work (appimage, latest version). It found the musesounds-sounds and played them. But it was buggy. Sometimes when using the Basic sounds notes would be added until the program chashed. Also I could no longer open Muse sounds manager to donload new sounds, it just crashed.
I figured there was some weird things happening since i also had Musescore installed from my app manager.
So I re-installed the whole computer, only installed the essentials and only start Musescore from the appimage file (currently MuseScore-Studio-4.5.1.250800846-x86_64).
An now I get the dreaded blue line (see musescore2.png). Settings look the same as before (musescore.png).
I attach what the terminal looks like when I start the program from there, and open some scores.
Still on Linux: Tuxedo OS on a year old Tuxedo Infinitybook so great specs, plasma 6.3.2, X11

I hardly see that as the problem since this problem is consistent throughout the versions.
And I will only download files from their website for security reasons.

Ok, go to https://musescore.org/en/nightly-builds and find the link "Nightly builds for Linux"

Which redirects you to OSUOSL...
Which were kind enough to provide file space for MuseScore
