Half the time if there's a music slider I'll generally lower it to 0, leaving sfx audible. Depends on the game. The Witcher 3 for example is quite a less interesting experience for me without the score (and in fact has some audio bugs in the B&W expansion if lowered to '0'), whereas with some platformer I may want to play my own selection of music (did this for Shovel Knight, Bit Trip Runner, nidhogg, Ori, and others).

If I'm finding a boss challenging after multiple attempts I'll typically mute the game completely. Makes it easier to focus.

Tales of Zesteria & Berseria while traversing the extra dungeons.

The DLC dungeon in Zestiria had one of the better tunes in the game

I never play more than 5-10 minutes at a time.

Zelda BOTW.

The walking sound (especially in the shrines) annoys me when coming out of the little speakers. I tend to play it whilst watching TV thus haven't used headphones to hear whether it is more tolerable.

 

[Arminsc]

All the Hexcells games and lately Paint it Back. I like playing them while listening to music moslty, really relaxing!
Also Crusader Kings II, but that's not always the case since I really enjoy its bso

Metroid Other M: I played in a monitor without audio output. I listened the soundtrack later. Didn't miss anything good.

Revelations Persona: I had to turn the sound off because I couldn't stand the damm combat song, I hated it.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

All games since the before Guitar Hero was a thing

 

[VexyWexy]

Dragon Quest Builders and Heroes. I know music is subjective but I kind of fear for the sanity of someone who actually wants to listen to that obnoxious mess of tooting horns.

Wow/diablo3

 

[Possumowner]

Any mobile game,as I'd play it sat next to the wife while she's watching TV normally

Trials after failing 20 times

 

[Chris_Rivera]

I almost always set Muic to 0 volume in games, good to see I'm not the only one.

I can't stand listening to the same music over and over and over.

 

[jjasso21]

I do this for most mobile games. If ever grinding in JRPGs, I will do this as well.

Depends on the mood and what I'm doing. I usually love bumpin Witcher 3's soundtrack and just listening to NPC's converse, but as I wrapped up the story for the second time and was merely cleaning up trophies, I muted it for my own music.

It happens.
