How to disable radio?
I've tried turning the radio audio down all the way, but it only changes the radio in the pip-boy, the radio(and music) still plays in the functional radios placed around the wasteland.

I can't have this happening. All of this music is copyrighted, and will(has been) be flagged on youtube or twitch.

Set the guy at the Castle to "non-essential" and kill him with impunity. Video didn't kill the radio star, but you certainly can.

....

Oh, wait, we're not talking about the same thing?

Game > Audio

I set the radio level to 0.
I can't hear it in the pip boy anymore.
I can still hear it from any stationary radio station in the game world(ya know, the yellow boxes that light up when they're on....)

I need to fix that.

I dont think there is a fix to this without turning off the rest of the music (battle music)

I actually tried turning off the music setting also. It removed the battle music, but left the radio music from the radios. like wtf.

the functional radio boxes are literally enviorment audio sync'd, not sync'd with the menu audio 'radio' selection

This post wants to be able to upload content to youtube without getting a copyright strike.

He's right, even if you turn down music and radio to 0, the radio boxes around the commonwealth still play their station.

I really don't see how anyone could come after you. Bethesda put the music in their game. Now, if you had a mod that added copyright music it'd be a different story. I'm no lawyer and don't pretend to be, but I would think in this case only Bethesda could really say anything.

Developers add music to their games and get licenses to do so. Game developers then give permission for people to use their game for youtube and such, and monetize it.
The music license however does not go beyond use in the game.

It's like buying a copy of music. You're buying it for your enjoyment. If you share that copy with anyone else, it's technically illegal.

The only music exempt from this is music made specifically for a game(like the battle music in fallout, or the menu screen music). The same situations happen in every other fallout game, GTA games, etc, etc, etc.

But most of those games have a simple off switch for radios/music.

^ beat me to it.

It shouldn't be getting flagged, they are songs from at least 30 years ago in some cases and I don't think Bethesda actually "own" them currently.

Failing that, turn your sound down, it evades Youtube and Twitch's garbage music copyright software most times

Here's a more precise explanation from a source on a MCN board I'm on.

2K Games does not own the rights to the music being claimed. They were given a license to use it in their game. This license however does not extend outside of that. 2K's license agreement will not cover 3rd party music. No game developers license does.
You have to be careful when it comes to in-game music. If it's licensed music, you can't have it in your videos.

Yes if a video game uses music that still has a valid copyright (Bioshock or Fallout uses plenty of period music but alot of it does have a claim on it) then you can't use it. See about only having the in game score present if possible for cases like that.

And even though they are over 30 years old, most of these sound files have had their copyrights renewed, and therefore do not fall under creative commons yet. Royalties are still collected on them.

I need an explanation on how to disable the music from coming out of the radio boxes. I do not need someone to tell me that copyright claims shouldn't happen...
