Details

The synthetiser sound is not working since the 4.1.0 version of this package.

It's because of the MUE_INSTALL_SOUNDFONT option set to OFF in the cmake config. (8e29bd94b37872096e62aed16d84ffae23e9cf3c)
I think it was to replace the previous DOWNLOAD_SOUNDFONT but it hasn't the same effect.

After recompiling the package with this option to ON, the synthetiser is working again.
This task depends upon

I can confirm this bug. Version 4.0.2 included the soundfont in the installed files:

/usr/share/mscore-4.0/sound/
/usr/share/mscore-4.0/sound/MS Basic.sf3
/usr/share/mscore-4.0/sound/MS Basic_License.md

Versions 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 so far don't include the soundfont, so they are out-of-the-box unable to play any music.

As a workaround, users can manually download and install it from https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/tree/master/share/sound
It can be installed either system-wide at `/usr/share/mscore-4.1/sound` or at `~/XDG/Documents/MuseScore4` (or wherever your `XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR` points to).
