Hi Andrew,

I'm using the Creative Labs Live Gamer with the last drivers they issued.

Thanks.

Just to ensure that we're all on the same page here.

If you go to the Games Options popup and:
-turn the volume of the music off (by selecting the Mute end of the control bar)
-select the "Make Defaults" at the bottom of the popup

You can play the current game with the music off

-Start a new game (e.g. go to the New Game page and select "Start a New Game!", note you never quit the application)

You find that the music comes back on?

In my case, if I am careful to move the music slider "all the way" to the left, "muting" the music and save it as the default, the music says "muted". Any other position of the music mute slider saved as a default doesn't not stay. After 2-3 minutes, the music level is back to the default. Maybe Greek isn't moving the slider to the "extreme" left??

Happy Holidays

Note that you can mute the music by clicking on the left part of the white border of the slider. Are you saying that if you completely mute the music then it stays off?

Thanks for the tip about clicking on the white border. Yes, it is any other slider setting that won't stay as the default for the music level. I can totally mute the music but I don't want to do that, I just want to change the music level ratio.

I am embarrassed to admit, when I clicked "make default" that seemed to be the fix. I had interpreted that as "restore default", but guess I shouldn't have assumed.

Thanks for all the help, it works now.

Hi Greek,

So you can successfully completely mute the music, ie, turn it off totally, and keep that as the default now? Can you set any intermediate music level and keep that as a default w/o the music level reverting back to the installation default?

Thanks...
