Background music never plays on Xbox Realm

Since the Chase the Skies update, no background music plays on my Realm world on Xbox (my only world). Music plays on the menus and my son’s Realm and non-Realm worlds without an issue; volume settings are all maxed. The only add-on I have I installed is the 15-Year Party Supplies.

Later testing indicated the issue appears to affect the locally-downloaded world as well as the Realm, however, it’s too early to tell if this is simply the result of downloading a backup from after the issue started, or an indication of an issue specific to bedrock rather than Realms.

Update: music disks play as normal, confirming it is only the ambient/background music that seems to be affected.

Quitting the game, resetting the console, etc. have all been tried, and do not make any difference.

Another update: I used command “/play music miceonvenus” and it sort of worked… both times, I got a message that the track was queued to start playing, but the first time what actually played was Living Mice, and after I got tired of waiting for it to start playing something naturally again, the second time I entered the same command (again, for Mice On Venus), Below And Above played (maybe because the first time I was in a plains, and the second, I was in a deepslate/lush cave/mineshaft?). Didn’t get a chance to play long enough to find out if the normal background music will go back to normal functioning, will try again in the next 24 hours when I have more time and report back.

Promised update: Played again for a few hours last night, remaining in the same deepslate/lush cave/mineshaft area the entire time. No background music played as I waited for an hour or so before running the same command as before, after which one of the new songs played (again, the song that actually played was not the song I specified, but I believe this is just due to the biome/environment I was in). After this point, background music continued playing at normal intervals, with tracks that (if I remember correctly) were consistent with the environment.

I have a suspicion I will have to manually play a track to get things going each time I join my world until this bug is fixed, and will post another update after my next session.

Another update: The next time I played, I made sure to give it a solid 25 minutes before using the command “/music play music.game” to get the music going again, confirming my suspicion that (at least for the time being) I will need to manually start the background music via commands every time I join my realm.
