Bugged Sound Dynamics
So, there seems to be a bug in my works ever since I installed the latest version of MuseScore 4.5.1
Generally, sound dynamics work as they should, but every now and then I get "ghost" dynamics. For example, I have a measure that doesn't have any dynamics written on it at all, but somehow the first 2 beats are mf, the last 2 are mp, then it goes back to mf. It's not even about different notes or anything, all I have is just a repetitive sequence of the same notes.
Reloading the app hasn't done anything, trying to change dynamics doesn't do anything either. It simply won't work properly
Update:
Every time I save the work and reopen it, it only gets worse. There's more and more passages with unstable dynamics and trying to fix them is making even worse as well

It's impossible to say much from just a picture - better to attach the actual score. But first, check the Playback section of the Properties panel to be sure those notes aren't set to a velocity other than the default (64).

Sorry, the posting system didn't allow me to post videos, so I couldn't do it. I resorted to other means for this reply however:

In the 4th measure here, if you pay attention to the upper strings, they go mf -> mp -> mf instead of just staying the way I left the marker.
Also, I checked playback properties, they're all set to 64

Videos aren’t useful either - we need to see the score itself.

Please point out a measure where this happens. I've been listening to each part and must have missed it.

Measure 26 and 27. If it truly doesn't alternate dynamics then it must be on my end, I suppose.

Seems OK on my end. . As an experiment, try this. It isn't a fix, just a test. pick a part that does this and remove he hairpin before 26. Move the mf to measure 25. Or leave it out. Try it both ways. See if there is still a problem.

Yep, it didn't do anything. I also did my trials, such as:
-Put a mf on every single note (it still fluctuated in volume)
-Removed every dynamic marking on the sheet
-Tried adjusting the playback properties (no value did anything to modify the sound)
-Copied it and pasted in another score
None of these worked. I forgot to mention though, I'm using MuseSounds, could that be one of the issues?

I don't hear anything unusual on my system either, also using Muse Sounds. Be sure you have the most recent version of Muse Strings and of MuseSampler - fire up Muse Hub and update Muse Strings if that is offered.
Muse Sampler will update automatically but you may not see any notification. Restart MuseScore and try again. See Help / Diagnostics / MuseSampler and be sure you have at least 0.100
