Pizzicato Playback on strings got really weird and I don't know how to change it back.

Ok so I've never had any problems with playback on Musescore 4, but now I do. For some reason whenever I select a note that isn't pizzicato, the playback plays it to me as a pizzicato note, but when I press play the audio changes back to normal and it would play as it normally would. And then whenever there's a pizzicato section the playback sounds really bad, almost like all of the pizzicatos are played bartok and really aggressively and harshful. This only started happening after I downloaded some N64 soundfonts to play around with, and then when I started playing some of my other scores I noticed that as well. Any comments are helpful thanks
