Why Is The Witcher 3 Soundtrack Bugging Out? Here’s a Fix That Works
Sometimes, the silence in The Witcher 3 feels wrong. No music when you open the Gwent tab or roam the world?This guide will help you fix that soundtrack bug and bring the music back.
Method 1: Novigrad Sewer Fix (Most Reliable)
- Go to Novigrad: Head to Glory Gate, one of the main entrances to the city.
- Find the Sewer Entrance: Look below the road near the gate, close to the lake. There’s a hidden path leading underground.
- Enter and Walk: Go inside until you reach dry land. The city soundtrack should start playing here.
- Exit the Sewers: Once you hear the music, leave and return to the open world. The bug should be gone.
Method 2: White Orchard Reset (Backup Plan)
- Travel to White Orchard: Any location works, but try Nilfgaardian Camp if unsure.
- Wait for Music: Stay until the normal soundtrack kicks in. This often resets the audio system.
Method 3: Crow’s Perch Trick (Community-Suggested)
- Visit Crow’s Perch: Go to the Baron’s house area.
- Listen for Music: Wait for the soundtrack to start playing. Some players report success with this method.
Method 4: Vizima Workaround (Unreliable)
- Head to Vizima: Travel there and wait for music to play again.
- Temporary Fix: This might work, but it’s inconsistent, and the bug may return.
The game seems to “forget” its soundtracks exist. Forcing it to play a theme from specific locations jogs its memory, like rebooting a stuck computer.
If one method doesn’t work, try another. Bugs can be stubborn, but these steps have helped many players restore their game’s atmosphere. Don’t let silence ruin your adventure—get your music back and enjoy Geralt’s world as it was meant to be heard!
