Ambience music suddenly no longer playing
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2026 3:33 am
My ambience music is no longer playing and I have no idea how to get it back running. All voices and surrounding noises are just fine. I also get the battle music when a dragon attacks. But not the usual ambience music. Not while I explore, not in player homes, not in inns. Ambience music is just quiet.
And this just since today. I have a level 56 character and my music was just fine the whole playthrough. No mods changed since yesterday... But when I started playing today, ambience music was gone.
What I already tried:
- Verify game files, no effect.
- restart the game and my PC, several times, no effect
- I tried to look via mod "More Informative Console" which track the game thinks is playing and I get told "_MUSExploreSILENT30" and Music Type: _NONE; both supposedly being base game. I have no idea how to get ridd of this, console command "remove music does nothing
- I tried NEW game and the scripted music while in the carriage played fine
- Back in my character I played a quest from a mod I have installed which I knew has a scripted music. That played fine... but was repeated endlessly as the silence before. When I stopped it with removemusic command sadly I had the track "_MUSExploreSILENT30" and Music Type: _NONE back and everything is silent again.
- I installed the mod "Sound Fix for Large Sector Drives", but sadly the only difference is that I get around 1 second of ambience music on the loading screen. Then it fades and ingame it is silence again.
I am at my wits end. Any help therefore would be most MOST welcome. Thanks
