[SOUND] Music stops playing when returning to main menu

[historic_bruno]

The main menu and in-game music play correctly the first time you start a game, but it's silent after you exit and return to the main menu. If you repeat this procedure sometimes the main menu music will start to play, but it sounds very choppy.

Is this in any way related to the issue where music only plays every other time you load a map? (unless that's been fixed, but I don't recall reading about it/think I've had it do that lately as well, so I doubt that's the case) It might not be as regular as every other time, but imho it seems to be a general problem with music rather than a main menu specific issue.

When "Enable music" in the Settings menu in a map is disabled, it can't be re-enabled so that music plays. There is music in summary, after exiting a game, but only for the first time summary apears. By choosing another civilisation the track changes, and there is music just the first time the track is played.

Every music track is being played only once.

Is any of this not covered by #961? It seems like a waste of time to fix the old kludge just so we can replace it with a proper music manager.

Well, yes and no :) This ticket is a symptom of the broken lowlevel sound code, which I believe Kenny is completely overhauling, so the whole sound interface is likely to change (for the better). Depending on when that gets fixed, it may be preferable to quickly fix this ticket or close it and move on to #961 as you say.
