Installed a fresh Raspberry OS 05/27/2020 image on a dedicated SD card.

https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_full_armhf/images/raspios_full_armhf-2020-05-28/2020-05-27-raspios-buster-full-armhf.zipPi3 is connected directly via HDMI to my TV, Sharp Aquos LC-60LE835U.
I updated the OS as instructed in the guide. Also edited the /boot/config.txt .
Installed firefox (iceweaver).
Finally, installed MC 26.0.94 .
I can't get any sound out of MC when using Tools / Audio calibration with 2 channels at either 44.1 or 48 kHz (didn't try higher, doubt the TV supports it).
No matter the settings, I always get "something went wrong with the playback" pop-up.
This is true even if I select the NULL output device.
I think I have tried most of the 8 available audio devices to no help.
I have set DSP settings to 2 channels . Output encoding : none.
Sample rate : no change.
Mixing . no upmixing or downmixing.
I wish there was a way to reset everything to default settings in MC, but don't see how. Uninstalling it with apt remove , and then reinstalling it, doesn't give me default settings back.
I get sounds fine out of other apps in the Raspberry OS, such as the built-in games.
Sounds play onto the TV speakers through HDMI as expected. I tried with the analog DAC and attached headphones, and can play sound in the Pi games onto those as well.
Any idea what might be the problem with MC here?
I collected some logs in case this helps.
I tried with MC25 with default settings also. It can't play audio either, with default settings out of the box. I'm guessing it's incompatible with the current version of the Raspberry Pi OS I downloaded somehow.
