Music playing despite music / jukebox slider set to OFF

You mean the ambiance music? I actually did notice this a snapshot or two back, but haven't been able to test in today's pre-release. However, I can confirm this was at least a recent problem, and it hasn't been listed under the fixes.

Essentially, the ambiance music is not tied into the sound control AT ALL, so you can't shut it off without muting the entire game externally.

Can confirm for 1.7.1 on OSX Mountain Lion.

Can confirm on 1.7.1, just the music is VERY faint.
Windows 7 PC

Minecraft 1.7.2 Full release is STILL affected. 😞

Ok, also confirmed. Probably one of the most annoying bugs yet >.<

I'm having the same issue. :/

When the new volume slider for music (Version 1.7) is moved all the way to the leftward off position, it has no effect, and music keeps playing.

What I expected to happen was the music turning off.

What actually happened was the music track kept playing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for a music track to automatically play.
2. Turn off music on the volume settings menu.

Confirmed for 1.7.2

Since the new music was added this past weekend I no longer seem to have this issue. Is anyone still experiencing this?

I confirm. Still appears in newest snapshot
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for a music track to automatically play.
2. Turn off music on the volume settings menu.
3. Listen and you will hear music (its so quiet)
It doesn't overlap this time.

confirmed as well in 13w48a

@Talven81: I don't think I am in 1.7.2, but in snapshots, I don't know. I didn't check again recently.

Confirmed in Version 1.7.3 as well. Setting the music slider to "0%" rather than "Off" actually silences the ambient music.

Confirmed in 1.7.4. Music starts playing immediately after setting it from 20% to OFF at about 20% volume. After repeating the process (setting it back to 20% and back to OFF) the music keeps playing, but at a faint (1%?) volume. Still annoying though (I want to turn music OFF sometimes because it just gets a little bit repetitive).

@Scott Barnkow Music keeps playing when set to 0% for me.

Confirmed in 14w04b. I turned off "Music". It turned off the regular tracks (hal, calm, piano, etc.) but doesn't turn off the creative ones.

Are you kidding me? OFF should mean "OFF", not "Very faint".

Only seems to happen to me in creative

confirmed in 1.7.9 in survival
also confirmed temporary fix, set the slider to 0%

Confirmed for 1.7.10 (MC-59336)

Confirmed for

• 14w31a (MC-64703)

It's happened to me many times in 14w34d as well. Music is still playing when music slider is OFF. (Note that I am in creative mode and haven't tested other modes)

Confirmed for 1.8-pre2

Confirmed for 1.8. The music doesn't start playing on its own, but if existing music is playing and you turn the slider off, it will keep playing at a small volume.

Confirmed for 1.8 pre2. The music will in fact begin playing if the slider is set to "off", not just keep playing.

After numerous testing, I can confirm that this is fixed in 1.8.1.

@Sonic Nope, it's not.

I believe it's happening in 1.8.3 for me. I don't think it usually happens❓ but right now when it started playing and I turned it off, it just restarted playing again. It seems to be replaying every time I set the slider to 1 or under I think. Setting it to OFF seems to just replay the music at the level it was before it was turned off.

@unknown: Try to avoid editing your comment as each edit sends an email to the 26 people watching this issue 🙂.

Confirmed right now for 1.8.3

1.8.4 still happens

Still happens in 1.8.8

Also happens as of 1.9 snapshot 15w43c.

Same issue in version 1.8.9

Still in 16w07a

In 1.9 Pre-2, the music volume slider value only seems to be read when loading Minecraft, not when adjusted in-game or even when loading a new world.

Edit: OK, seems to have been an odd temporary glitch, can't replicate it right now.

@unknown: Can't confirm, can adjust the music volume ingame without any issues.

I experience the same problem as Zed Ontargs in 1.9 Pre-2. Turning music on and off does not take effect until I restart the game. I tried several times and could reproduce it every time.

I have gathered video of this bug in action, though I was also experiencing another very peculiar bug that could be related. I considered creating a separate ticket for this, but decided against it.

Video: https://youtu.be/Umry_VIw2eA

I noticed when messing about in 1.9-pre3 that two songs were playing simultaneously. After opening my recording software, I proceeded to mess around more, playing with the audio settings and going in and out of that world multiple times.

One of the two songs I originally noticed playing together would not pause itself when the game was paused, or when I went back and forth between the main menu and the world. Furthermore, I could not turn off that song with the music slider, even though the other song was affected by it. Adjusting the main audio slider would affect both songs.

I went back into the world and flew around until I was near a guardian temple. Annoyed by all the noise, I attempted to use a /kill command to kill the guardians so I could focus on the music. Then, I noticed that by doing so I had somehow managed to make the guardian laser noise repeat itself indefinitely, similar to that first song.

By the end of the video I manage to get 3-4 songs playing simultaneously (it got difficult to tell how many there were) plus the guardian noise. The only way I was able to stop it was to restart the game.

So... What the heck is going on!?

Confirmed for pre-4.

Confirm in release 1.9

1.9.1 pre-3: Started the game with music turned off. Loaded my world, turned music on, no song ever started playing. Quit MC, restart MC, load world, music starts immediately. (so far the same behaviour as described in my previous comment)
Shortly before the end of the song I turned music back off - and it seemed to work at first. But then I noticed that the song started playing from the beginning instead, just in a very low volume, probably 10-20%.

Confirmed for 16w15b

Confirm for 1.9.3 pre-2

Confirmed for 16w20a

Confirmed in 1.10.2

Confirm 1.10.1 1.10.2

1.10.2 is already listed, 1.10.1 is outdated and cannot be added to the list.

Confirmed in 1.11.

@@unknown: 1.11 is already markes as affected. Please check the affected versions before confirming an issue.

Happening in 17w14a. Also, quitting & going into another map causes music to overlap.

Version 17w16b.

Two different pieces of music play simultaneously. One can be muted with the 'music volume' slider, the other only with the 'master volume' slider.

@unknown, I think that is actually MC-102403 (at least it looks like it)

Nope, that's about sound effects, which I have no issue with. I mean the background music.

MC-102403 affects any sounds. Even background music.

If you say so. I'm not the one having to check the Java code.

This needs to be fixed immediately. It's insane!

Music still plays after the music slider is set to OFF.

Setting it to 0% seems to actually stop it.

Nevermind. Can still hear the music at 0% volume.

Can confirm in the latest release [1.12.1], music even plays itself at 100% even though I set the volume level at 15%. Only thing to stop it is to set master volume at 0%, but I don't want to play the game in complete silence!

1) it has been in the game forever
2)Sometimes it plays the menu music

@unknown, you're experiencing MC-102403 then probably.

im confused what resolution is there to this problem
