I like to turn on the background music when I play the game. At least I can feel like I am really in the game. And sometimes the music can make you keep alert and focus on the game. How about you?

Most of the time, yes, i do like to turn on the background music of the game. But sometimes, if the background music will affect someone esle in the room, i will turn it off or turn down the volume. If i don't like the background music, i will turn it off too. I do agree tht background music can make you feel exciting about the game, sometimes, you hear that music from somewhere else, you feel so surprise and so familar and make you feel like you want to play that game again. LOL...

You are very considerate. Perhaps you can also have the headphone so that it won't bother others

well i have never turned off the background music in any game. but recently i played this superb game called burnout paradise, it has awesome gameplay and graphics but such an annoying collection of sound tracks. it also has a confusing menu and so far i have been unable to turn of the music in this game.

Hi youless, it’s very much less interesting and fun as well to turn off the background music when playing computer game. I like the game as well as the background music of it. If there is no one around, usually I would like to turn the button to higher volume. The music makes us to feel high and excited when coming to a certain stage or the high tide of the game. Different music is available during different challenging stage of the game. It’s so boring and monotonous if playing games without its background music turned on. Happy posting

Same as you, I like to turn on the background music while playing. It adds to the feeling, the action. Especially when the music is really nice and sounds cute, I turn on the BG volume.

It depends on what I am doing on teh game I think for me. When I am traveling or just doing a lot of walking/chatting, then it is like pointless and I turn it off. If I am like no lifing or something then I do turn it on t help me focus.

yes, i like to listen to the background music of the game especially when i am playing, the music gives more excitement to the game, especially when i am playing mystery games...besides the background music, i do not like to play other music that is not included in the game, it just distracts me..i prefer the music that came with the game, so that i can focused playing it... i love playing nancy drew and other games...

Which game are you referring to? When I play a video game of some sort, I prefer to do it without the music, because I like to listen to my own music. Now there are some games like wheel of fortune where the sounds are necessary, so I will turn on the sound. Wheel of fortune doesn't have music, so it's just fine. There are other games I like where I can keep the game sounds, but not have music. in that case I'll choose that option.

Nope, not me. I have become terribly noise sensitive and having the background music on makes me jittery and distracted.

Actually in several games I turn the music off. Particularily games that have a great ambient soundset. I did that in Dragon Quest VIII, the environment sound sin that are just great. You turn the volume up a bit and it sounds like walking around outside... with monsters... .

I would also like to turn on music while play the game, because we can actually enjoy the game only when we hear the sounds of the game. We play games for enjoyment. If we not able to enjoy it what is the need to play it

It really depends on the game. Most of the time the background music get's so repetitive. I usually keeps mines off and keep the sound effects on. Then I play my own music in the background.

only with certain games like final fantasy or castlevania i just love the music but for games like pokemon i prefer something more hard like cradle of filth so i think it all depends on the game, there are games with great music and games with lame music

I dislike it, actually. It's distracting and after awhile it gets a bit repetitious. But that's me. ^_^' I usually play other music, on my computer though, for everything I do online...games included. Cuts down on the repetition and helps my concentration.

Hi youless. I do the other way around. I feel distracted with the background music on. Everytime i play games, its on a mute state. Actually i always mute the volume of my pc. I just turn it on if i want to hear something or i am chatting or calling via the messenger.

I never listen to msuic while playing a game, I always use the game background music it just adds to the atmosphere and I feel like I am more into the game. The creators made the sound for a reason and it helps to create an atmosphere in the game. Some game music is incredible.
