<div class="IPBDescription">Because the menu option "music" doesn't affect it at all..</div>Hello!

I tried searching the forum but the search function doesn't allow searching for "turn off music" etc.... As per topic title I'd like to know:

<b>How do I turn <u>ALL</u> ingame music off?</b>

I am asking because the menu option "music" doesn't affect the music during CC attacks and the endgame music. It still is playing. And to be honest I do not like that music at all. I would prefer to turn it completely off.

So does anyone know how to do that?

    Hi. I'd like to also chime in and say that the in-game music is super annoying and far too intrusive. It plays really loudly sometimes during the start of the game when you're supposed to be keeping an ear out for incoming skulk/marine footsteps. Also I think it plays after you kill a hive? I dunno. But having it play at all while in-game is intrusive and there needs to be a way to turn it off (i.e. music volume should effect this but currently does not). Often I've failed to hear to hear skulks/marines coming because the music is playing obnoxiously loud and as a result I can't hear anything else.

    I don't care about endgame music as it doesn't effect anything. However, if you turn music volume down to zero, you shouldn't hear any music from then on. Music volume shouldn't mean 'just the music in the menu screen'. It should mean 'all music'. Just as sound effects volume shouldn't just effect sound effects in the menu screen - it's counterintuitive

    Agreed, muting music should mute the music.

    At the very least, let us spectators mute it. Obnoxious during a stream :/

    protip: hitting escape twice will cancel it. Just a pain to do as it causes a bit of lag.

    I like the music of Natural Selection 2 and I think it could be more tracks than currently specially as a commander in the Real-time strategy view its sometimes really sillence but I agree if someone wants to turn off the music then the person should able to turn off the whole music and not just the menu background music. Anyway I wish everyone a nice day like always. :)

    Hi everyone!

    So, a new patch was released and........... I still do not like the music. Especially during attacking CCs/hives - it'S driving me crazy. Still no option to turn it off for good. :(

    Does anyone know how to get the developers attention so this gets fixed?

    I understand why you should have music off so you can hear the skulks, that only makes sense. I like the NS2 music and actually wish there was more :D but thats what the sound track is for ;)

    It's actually a bug, as I managed to fix it while messing around with lua the other day in a very messy way, so I suppose it's a matter of time before it gets fixed.

    Edit: It's reported, btw.

    What about the new Law and Order sound effect whenever you do anything in the menu or open the game? DUH-DUH.

    Thanks for the information. If it is reported, then it hopefully will be fixed...


    Seriously: NS2 music + my own background music (through foobar) = terrible dissonance... :)

    Uhh that should have been reported as a bug a long time ago... was that really just now reported?? Its been around since they added the 'danger' music and round start music.

    I wish they would drop this music in favor of the ambient music style NS1 had. The tracks were atmospheric, really pulled you into the game, and were subtle enough that you could hear everything you needed to.
