Description swomf 2025-03-31 09:43:41 UTC
In MuseScore 4, there's no sound output when inputting notes, and playback hangs at the position it's started. This is fixed when pipewire-alsa is added to media-video/pipewire use flags.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an openrc pipewire-based system with the following USE flags:

media-video/pipewire sound-server bluetooth
media-video/pulseaudio -daemon

2. Ensure gentoo-pipewire-launcher has ran.

3. Open a score. Inputting music will cause no noise, and playback will hang.

4. Now, add pipewire-alsa to the USE flags of pipewire. Rebuild pipewire.

4. It should work now.
Actual Results:  
On running mscore,
`ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.9/work/alsa-lib-1.2.9/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:999:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave`
is printed to stderr. However, following my steps fixes it.

Expected Results:  
MuseScore 4 sound should work with less manual intervention.

openrc amd64/23.0/hardened with Wayland WM and gentoo-kernel-bin, sof-firmware. Machine is younger than 5 years old.

I tested the above on both musescore4 built from source, and an unpackaged MuseScore4 extracted appimage
