Wuthering Waves’ release has been plagued with a host of problems, especially for players on PC and Steam Deck. These issues range from being stuck on verifying file integrity to the controller refusing to work in-game to the gateway connection timed-out error, not to mention the constant lag and stuttering that still hasn’t been fixed.

To pile onto the host of problems, a new issue has cropped up in the latest build of Wuwa. Players who spend time in the game for more than 10 minutes will immediately notice that after a short delay, the in-game music stops playing completely. This is a common issue affecting the entire player base, and only the developers, Kuro Games, can create a permanent fix. In the meantime, players can only rely on temporary solutions.

Upon entering the game for the second time, the music should come back. However, this is not a permanent solution. After a few minutes of gameplay, the background music will go silent again, requiring another restart to bring it back.

The music in Wuthering Waves is actually on a loop, and once this loop completes its cycle once or twice, it doesn’t continue as it should; it stops entirely. Restarting fixes this problem temporarily by resetting the loop. However, it will stop again after another cycle. This is not a client-side problem, meaning nothing you do on your side can fix the problem. Only Kuro Games deploying a new patch with the solution can permanently fix the no music bug.

How to Check if the No Music Bug is Fixed in Wuthering Waves

Kuro Games is likely to issue a permanent solution to the problem soon in an upcoming patch, alongside fixes for other issues. When the hotfix drops, make sure that your audio settings are enabled with the background music turned all the way up. To do so:
