No music bug

I've been working on a module and all music and ambient sounds simply can't be heard when I test it. Placed sounds work normally, though. Is there a fix for that?

    Do you mean hearing music and ambient sounds while still in the Toolset? If so, it's been a long long time since I last looked in the NWN toolset, but I think they don't play automatically while in the Toolset, no.

    No, everything works fine in the toolset. But when I try to play the module, there's no music or ambient sounds at all. I even tried scripting functions to make them play, to no avail.

    Mmm, I'm a loss then. I only ever dabbled around in the Toolset years ago, mostly just to craft custom magic items for my DM campaigns. Hopefully someone more familiar with the Toolset can help you!

    Okay, here's an update. I did some testing and noticed a few things. I play on a Mac and I run the toolset via Wine. I don't know if that changes things in any way, but there you go.

    Here's the thing: when I use Customize Environment and set the Night/Day Cycle to Always Dark, the track that plays is the Music, Day track. If I leave Music, Day as blank and choose any track for Music, Night, nothing plays. I don't know if that's deliberate but it seems like a bug to me, specially considering that the ambient sounds don't work like that.

    By the way, that only happens in-game. Everything works fine in the toolset.
