Audio applications halt when musescore is launched

I am on the default pipewire installation with pulseaudio. Musescore seems to get exclusive access to audio output whenever it is launched, so websites like youtube stop working.
Any way to fix this?

Re: Audio applications halt when musescore is launched

Install pipewire-alsa and make musescore use the "default" ALSA device.

If this doesn't help already, when the issue happens, post

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -lL
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs
