Music volume resets

[Mahkaite]

I lover the volume in F5 menu, but everytime i enter a new location the music is loud again. Is there a fix for this? Sometimes i don't even hear the conversations...

This is something fixed in the recent development builds of ScummVM (Beneath a Steel Sky on Steam and GOG use ScummVM in the background), since it was reported / mentioned to us only a few months ago.

You could try using the latest ScummVM development build to see if it fixes the issue for you:

Or get it from here to choose for your specific OS / platform (not only Windows):

I downloaded and installed the latest ScummVM version, but unfortunately this problem still occurs. Every new screen, the volume blasts my ears through my headphones. Even setting the BASS file to music_volume=0 shows the music volume at 0 in the game UI, but it still blares.

I got this finally! Syntax error. Open up the BASS file under steamapps/common/Beneath a Steel Sky/ and change the music driver from adlib to null:
music_driver=null

Save and run game. Et voila!

That doesn't sound right.
But I guess if it worked for you...

Still the issue is resolved in the latest ScummVM official release (2.2.0) with Adlib sound. I just re-tested it.

Thank you. This worked for me too.

Thank you SO much! It worked for me too. It was driving me nuts.
