Sound output from all applications garbled when MuseScore is running
Summary
Whenever I launch MuseScore (with native Pulse audio output enabled), all the audio coming out of my HDMI audio becomes garbled; even audio from other applications (e.g. VLC).
Closing MuseScore immediately restores audio quality. Or, moving MuseScore to a different sound card (e.g. my non-HDMI sound card) also restores HDMI sound quality.
Environment
- Fedora 31 (up-to-date as of 2019-01-19)
- PulseAudio 13.0 (pulseaudio-13.0-1.fc31.x86_64)
- MuseScore 3.3.4 (mscore-3.3.4-4.fc31.x86_64) configured to use native Pulse audio output in preferences
- AMD Radeon RX 580 with HDMI audio output to LG 27UD88-W
- 0d:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere HDMI Audio [Radeon RX 470/480 / 570/580/590]
- (My motherboard also has a AMD Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller which does not exhibit this problem. Only the HDMI audio is affected.)
