NEW BUG - Fields of Ard Skellig music no longer plays after starting new quest

[Genji]

It seems the new quest in the game to get the Netflix Witcher gear bugs the game's sound somehow. If you play the game normally and have not done the quest, the music files will play normally.

However, if you have started the new quest, a few things will happen, mostly related to BGM either not playing at all in some areas or playing versions that do not sound right (i.e. missing lyrics/instruments, etc.) Most notably, a fan favorite - Fields of Ard Skellig - now either has complete silence when outside in Ard Skellig, or it plays a weird version of the song with no violins and no lyrics. I've tested this thoroughly and the trigger for this bug is the starting of the new quest by talking to the priest of the Eternal Fire outside of the Devil's Pit. Note: THERE IS NO WAY TO RESTORE THE MISSING MUSIC EVEN IF YOU RELOAD THE FILE. So something with this quest permanently bugs the sound files on that save file for good.

You can verify this for yourself by beginning a new game with Blood and Wine, going to Skellige, testing the music, then going to the Devil's Pit to begin the new quest, then going back to Skellige and reloading the save file. It is confirmed to be bugged now.

RIP Fields of Ard Skellig if you have begun the quest to enter the Devil's Pit:

Let's hope that CDPR fixes this at some point.

I have the same issue; Finished Devil's PIt quest at level 9, left the place and the music from the cave is still playing. It plays on all the regions, plays in Gwent matches as well...RIP

true story

I tried 2 things in a row and one of them solved it
- Verified game files (2 files were missing)
- Fast travelled to Vizima, which forced the vizima song to play. When i came back to Velen the song unglitched itself.
