Description

Issue type

General playback bug

Bug description

After playing notes lower than F#1 (F1 or lower) [this is with some testing I did], the contrabass instrument starts to click after playing for about a second as if it's trying to replay the sound incorrectly.
The range of this bug seems to be from the lowest it plays (C0) to the F1, where then the bug stops at F#1 and higher.
The pitch also changes when the clicking noise develops, later with lower pitches.
I am worried that it might be my headphones only, but I don't believe it to be so.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open a score with the contrabass instrument
  2. Place a note that is lower than F#1(ie F1 or lower)
  3. Change the note duration to be longer than one beat of the measure

I apologize if the video is a bit quiet, as I recorded it at low volume, but it shows the audible noise in musescore 4 versus musescore 3 which doesn't have it, and how to replicate the bug.
