Finished Devil's Pit quest but the music is stuck playing for the rest of the game?
I played the new quest in Devil's Pit where that ominous music plays, and after i finished the quest the music simply won't go away. I cant listen to skelliges music, novigrads, oxenfurt, velen, nothing. The Devil's Pit song is stuck in a loop playing eternally, and i can't re enter inside the mine to try and unglitch this, anyone have any alternatives?

Gwent song is bugged as well, keeps playing the Devil's Pit cave music, either in matches and on deck menu

**********EDIT**********
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.

Save and restart the game, see if that helps.

Tip: Restarting solves the vast majority of problems.

I'm experiencing this aswell : Fast-travel to another region does fix it but restarting the game seems to make the problem appear again. Will try to scan missing files, I'll keep ya updated.

I tried travelling to other locations and they didn't work. Then i tried specifically Vizima and the problem stopped, have you tried there already?

Try visiting Vizima, then going back to Velen, after going back to Velen do a manual save. Restart the game and load the manual save then keep playing from that save.

I say this referring to your temporary fix because maybe you did that, and restarted the game and the game loaded to before you had travelled elsewhere, meaning the glitch wasn't fixed yet. So making sure the game loads after you unglitch the music might be the permanent fix. At least it worked for me this way

Tried to indeed travel to another place (Skellige islands worked as well as Vizima), save there and restart the game : problem occured again

Just tried to backup DLC / bin / Mods folders and check files (was suspicious it would erase some stuff and it did) then copy/past my backup files to check : problem still there.

I'll try to check for missing files one more time without my backup folders.
If it does the trick, my very own mods setup might be the problem.

Alright, just tried with files scanned : the problem is still occuring while in the middle of Novigrad.

Temporary workaround : Travel to another place that provokes a loading screen and it should be good until you shut the game off.

I can think of one solution... Couple years ago i had another song glitch in my game, it was the same glitch but different musics. What i had to do to fix the problem was to travel to Novigrad sewers, specifically enter through the exit you leave while escorting Triss to save the mages.

I just entered through the exit where supposedly the sewer song start playing, then i left and it unglitched. Might work for you?? Worth a try...

EDIT: The exit is in a port if i'm not mistaken... Near where you need to get the ship to Skellige, could be mistaken... If you're not sure, might be worth looking up on youtube

Update : Had to restart the game to apply some eyecolor mods in the middle of the Vegelbud residence mission w/ Triss -> Loaded my save : the music bug from Devil's Pit was gone.
