    do you listen to wow music while playing/grinding?

    for a decade or more, i never listened to the music in wow.
    i stopped listening not long after i arrived in SW for the 1st time in vanilla.
    tbh, that music as you walked through the gates for the 1st time, in a brand new game was pretty awesome.
    but after, it started to annoy me. so much i never listened to any of it, until earlier when i thought i would give it another go.
    im curious to know if others still listen even after all these years, or others who gave up listening a long time ago?

    I only have volume on when it's a cut scene. I usually have chaturbate on the other screen.

    Yes, I have all in-game sound turned on, although I use an addon which automatically replaces the music in any boss fight with tracks I've selected.

    Games without sound feel empty and boring to me, I could never play WoW without sound.

    Back in wotlk I had it turned off all the time, but when cataclysm came out I put back on and never turned it off again, unless I listen to some songs, which is not a lot of time.

    Depends on, what I'm doing ingame. For questing, raiding/dungeons I have the music on. While doing Legion Invasions with alts or farming something I listen to audiobooks.

    Never listen to the music, but grinding without someone to talk to on teamspeak et al. is unbearable.

    I've played WoW with the master volume turned down to 15% since Wrath. When new quest content comes out I'll turn it up for new dialogue but otherwise I listen to podcasts or music while playing.

    Never played with in-game sound, prefer listening to death metal all the way ;-)

    Sometimes audiobooks or podcasts while doing chill stuff!

    When it comes to Blizzards score how can I not listen. Hell, I would go so far as to say I like to leave just the ambience on

    Same here, I don't think i've listened to the music since I started playing 8 years ago!

    Yes, I listen to music the majority of the time that I play, but especially so when grinding/farming.

    Pretty much never in-game, but all the time from Spotify with random shuffle

    I almost exclusively listen to in-game sounds when playing. Few exceptions are the odd time when I watch a movie instead, but rarely do that.

    I keep it on for a new expansion to hear all the music and dialogue, after that I keep it off for TS and spotify

    I haven't listened to the music in WoW since Vanilla. I very rarely listen to other music while I play WoW either. Sometimes I'll listen to an audiobook.

    Haven't played wow with sound on since TBC.

    I listen my first time through. After that I have something else going. I multitask by nature, so I'm watching something on my second screen while I play.

    Depends on what i am doing. I have noticed my performance goes down when i listen to other stuff and turn off wow sounds, especiall in pvp. I like listening to music though when just doing random bgs.
