Don't seem to be able to turn off the music in the sim. I can turn the volume to zero but I still get a couple of snatches of it as the game boots up, Does anyone know how to turn it off completely?

Thanks

General > Sound > Music (Set to 0)

Edit:  So sorry.  I reread your post.  Yes, I get a little bit at the beginning also.  Don't know.

Me too, it's annoying funeral music.

amen so annoying given the horrendously long load time(s)

Worked for me. Cuts some from your load time.

Biggest speed up for me was to fit an NVMA 1TB as my main storage. Much faster than regular SSD but you motherboard needs to support it.

I found this tip on another forum but using Windows, you can right-click on the Windows speaker icon and turn down MSFS volume only.  As a MSFS noob with 29 hours' flight time, I'm often switching from a YouTube tutorial to FS2020 and the background music or even ATC chatter made it impossible to hear the tutorial.  Great forum and glad to have found it! 

Thanks!

I just turned it to Zero on Day One and have never heard the Music since, not sure why that won't work for others 🤷‍♂️

There is an audio option which mutes all sounds automatically when the application is not in focus, which is useful when minimising the simulator which I presume is what you're doing to watch YouTube. Since this now applies to the installation manager as well, there is no need for the sound mixer anymore.

to turn off sound,

Go to General

Sound

Volume levels

Scroll to the very bottom and you will see a slider for music,

slide back and save and  your done  🙂

God the music is annoying.

I turned down the music volume to zero too, after listening to it a couple of times. As you said, at one point during load I still get a half second blip from the music every time. I already enabled the -FastLaunch command line option, so it's unrelated to the videos playing before the load screen.

Exactly - no music once the game loads but still a short burst of music every time the game loads.
