Music completely gone.

[ƬᗩԲԲվ]

So my music is gone in game. The radio works but now there is no traveling music or battle music. It is turned on in audio. And restarting the game hasnt even brought it back.

HMM, start the game and on the main menu go into "Settings" then audio and make sure the "Music", Effects and Footsteps volume options are turned up at least halfway.

Edit; This is a stupid question but, no chance one speaker or one side of your headset went out, right?

[ƬᗩԲԲվ]

Yeah it's on about half way or 60%. The main menu music plays but then when I load my game or continue theres no music. Not sure what the heck happened but I'm hoping its not my save corrupt.

[ronr42]

That's strange. Got any mods that have sound files?

Edit; Try loading an older save just to test, but I doubt a corrupt save caused it.

Verify the integrity of the game files.

It is the save :( I loaded the oldest save file I had it worked. Then loaded the newest and music played for about 3 seconds then went away. I don't think I have any mods with sound. I only have about 15 mods, mostley armor keywords, unofficial patch , the rest outfits.

[ronr42]

Well, I'm glad you figured it out. You'll just have to play forward from that save. I really didn't think it would be a problem with a save.

[ronr42]

Go ahead and Verify the game files. Then try loading your newest save one more time.

After verifying files, I might just start a new game with as little mods as possible. But not sure if that's the issue. Anyways I appreciate the help.

[ronr42]

You're welcome. :)

Be very careful with mods. The warning to use mods at your own risk is real. Best is to only get those with high endorsements / favourite / download counters. I'm not joking when I say every kid can write a mod and put it up there.

I noticed Fallout 4 seems even more touchy than Skyrim. I have always tried to keep under 20 mods with it. Still I have had to restart my game about 3-4 times because of issues. Last one I was CTD every time I visited a certain settlement. So I restarted without the homemaker mod (not sure that was the problem but I figured less mods couldnt hurt). Now I had this music issue. I use unofficial patch as well. Up until now I wasn't using wyre bash for FO4 but I will start. Seems like my saves are always getting corrupted somehow though.

ive noticed that to, i have 255 mods running on oldrim, many of which are very script heavy, and many of them use 4k textures. yet despite this the game runs at a solid 30 fps no problem. on the other hand, my fallout has much less mods (most of which are just weapon, armor, and settlement item mods) yet this game runs like ass , breaks quests and fails to render textures like its going out of style, idk what bethesda did but its kind of surreal

And that he's almost exclusively detailing hardware problems that Bethesda has nothing to do with.

Actually it was a corrupted save game.

Currently going through this issue, but detecting one more symptom. The radio wave (the actual wave animation) seems to be permanently "on". Tuning in and out of radio stations doesn't affect it. I do have the Old World Radio mod, but the disappearance of ambient music came much, much later. Otherwise no music mods (safe for the idiot savant noise remover which I've installed yesterday and unrelated to this issue), no hotkey mods, no combat zoning modification, and currently located in Far Harbor.
The main issue is usually playing without any ambient music, so I don't quite know when this problem started being a thing - trying old save files up to a year of age didn't seem to show any difference, whilst I know for a fact, the music was present then.
Any ideas appreciated, thank you.
