Valgo Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Hey there Ladies and Gentlemen I hope you can help me with a little problem I have with Skyrim. x) For a while now I can't hear any music, originally I thought I had turned it off which I sometimes did in order to play an itunes playlist while playing skyrim but that isn't the case anymore. I do have a music overhaul mod installed and I already tried disabling or deinstalling it. I also tried asking steam if some files were missing but it never made a difference. The thing is: I CAN hear music sometimes when I load a save game but only for up to three seconds while it gets quieter and ultimately disappears completely. All teh other sounds work flawlessly. Here is my mod order: 0 0 Skyrim.esm 1 1 Update.esm 2 2 Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp 3 3 Dawnguard.esm 4 4 Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp 5 5 HearthFires.esm 6 6 Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp 7 7 Dragonborn.esm 8 8 Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp 9 9 Falskaar.esm 10 a AzarHair.esm 11 b ApachiiHairFemales.esm 12 c ZaZAnimationPack.esm 13 d SexLab.esm 14 e Devious Devices -

allsunday Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Interesting. Does the music play during a new game? It could be a corrupted save. Needs to be cleaned and so on... I'm starting to feel like a broken record. Other possible issues are wrong load order and straggling files that won't remove themselves from your Skyrim installation directory so you have to go in and manually remove them yourself (exactly like a manual uninstall). Take for example you still have a script in the game's data folder telling the game to play music that you uninstalled eons ago so when you start your game the music is silent but the game thinks it's still playing the music you installed long ago... but the music files ain't there no mo'!

That... makes a shitload of sense and I wonder why I didn't think of this myself. Thanks, I'll try that out asap and come back to report x) Doubt it's the loadorder as I use LOOT to generate it for me, but I'll try all the things you just said.
Nazzzgul666 Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 I once had a problem with the music, but that was ages ago, not sure if it was similar to yours. However, a fix was to start a music via console, maybe that'll help you as well.

When these mods are removed again, then the INI setting is not reset, that leads to error in the game. It is advisable before using mods to make a backup copy of both INI files.

Do you know where in the INI it does this change? I have about 4 or 5 music packs merged that do not overwrite the vanilla music but I swear I only hear about 30 tracks when there should probably be almost a hundred and I never hear a Vanilla track ever. Been a year now and I just now thought of this.

Been a year now and I just now thought of this. I do not know where these texts are (section). You can not edit these texts manually, if you do not know what was written there first. A very good advice! Make a backup copy of your data folder, then a complete uninstall + both INI files. Then reinstall, only so the INI files are rewritten, when that is done, copy your backup copy (DATA) back to the game. This usually takes 30 minutes.
Valgo Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 So the scriptcleaner sadly didn't help. I once had a problem with the music, but that was ages ago, not sure if it was similar to yours. However, a fix was to start a music via console, maybe that'll help you as well. Thank you, I tried it with ID's of vanilla songs but since they are overwritten already that might not be something that helps. Or rather it didn't help.I'll go digging in tes5edit for specific mod music id's any try it again as soon as I can and then report back.

Lodakai Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Have you made sure that your audio drivers are up to date? Do you experience this with other games? Have you checked your audio and speaker settings? Also if you use a microphone.. make sure steam or any other voice chat program is not muting your game by checking those settings. (you could also try muting steam in the audio control panel to see if it changes anything) Another source of information would be post #5 in this thread.. Also check post #11 - ETA: start with 11 because it is easier https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/630697-skyrim-no-music-s/ There is an indication that the combat music from Civil War might be interrupting BG music. But if it is a different song getting stuck, you will have to go through a list of music as they describe.

I had actually stumbled upon that thread myself but hadn't seen that there was a second page. >_< Stupid.
