MS4 Handling of Hot-swapping External Soundcards on Windows-10

Issue type

Crash or freeze

Bug description

Hot-swapping sound card (external USB sound card) while MS4 is in active playback, may result in:

1. Windows BSoD ("Blue Screen of Death") crash
2. If going between 48KHz and 44.1KHz audio devices, the playback pitch and tempo will change

Workaround: Don't do it! Always exit MS4 before changing sound cards!

BSoD crash was twice repeatable on my configuration.
Did not test further as it may harm the OS integrity.

Steps to reproduce

1. Hardware

Windows 10/Home
Realtek Internal Sound: 48000Hz
USB3 Focusrite Solo: 44100Hz

2. Check Windows Settings

Right-click on "Speakers" icon on Windows tray
Sounds -> Playback tab -> Double click on "Speakers" -> Advanced tab
Note the sampling frequency for each device

3. Unplug USB sound card (enable Internal motherboard sound card)
4. Start Musescore4, play a song in loop
5. Plug-in the USB sound card
6. Note pitch and tempo shift in playback
7. Unplug USB sound card to return to internal audio
8. Note pitch & tempo shifts back to original

For BSoD Windows system crash, continue to plug in/out the external USB sound card device while MS4 Play is active.
