Another video of the issue:

Music almost never plays, and big fights, raids, important story parts or even feasts feel completely empty since there is NO music playing at any point in time.

My settings are also visible in the video.

I hope the patch today fixes this, because it's been ruining the game for many players. Just imagine having a big conquest battle and NO MUSIC. It's almost funny to play.

Please do something about this.

I'm on PC btw, but you can see my settings in the video. There are also other public videos about this in my channel.

Issue is still present in the latest update. Nothing changed at all...

Come on Ubisoft...

@hieromalex I know, right? Everything has an echo. And guess what - I did this one quest in a cave and the echo was less noticeable. Go figure.

@ubiexcellent I will create another video today. Could you please tell me what would be most useful for the team to figure out the issue? I can try whatever scenario you need and provide you with a video? Whatever, just to get this resolved asap. Please let me know.

I'm also experiencing the issue where ambient music almost never plays. And when I say almost, I mean it only plays when I sync some (SOME) viewpoints.

Nothing else. All the battles, cutscenes, whatever - nothing gets the music playing. I'm using high frequency and sounds are to the max. Tried reinstalling the game, even tried reinstalling the OS and finally downloading the game on another PC and installing - the issue persists. I also started a new game, and the same happens, so it does not appear to be savegame related to me.

Ubisoft, please fix this soon. It just feels like a huge shame to play this game without music.

Hello!

I've downloaded the latest title patch in hopes these issues are fixed and after playing for 3 hours I can safely say that they are NOT.

Ambient music does not play, no fight music, nothing. Eivor's voice still sounds like he's thinking, while he's actually speaking out loud, with a weird echo and way louder than any other character.

This patch did nothing about these issues for me.

@UbiExcellent

Hi there!

So I tried a suggestion I got in the ticket I submitted for this and did a clean boot on my system.

I've made another video where you can see the issue.
I hope a fix is coming in the next title update.

It did not change anything, so I still don't have ambient music and the sounds are very bad quality in general.
Ambient music rarely plays in any circumstances. When it does - the volume is way too low. Eivor's voice is way louder than other characters and there's a weird echo to all voices in the game.
Horse galloping sounds are now present. I've played for almost 15 minutes in this video and no music played at any point in time. I played another hour while the video was uploading and there was one song playing for around 1 minute in total and the volume was very, very low.

This game has a lot of issues with sound.

Music never plays for me, does not matter what I do.

This update has also broken galloping sounds for me on PC.

It appears every new update brings another sound issue. The game really feels dead without music and all the missing sounds.

I don't think they'll fix it, or at least not any time soon - people have been reporting the missing music problem since November, and it did not get officially addressed once.
They just act as if it's not there. I guess think before buying Ubi games again.
