Skyrim SE=Silent Edition? Music plays rarely, fights are mostly silent

hi, I'm not sure if this is a compressed audio issue or something else.

 

ambient music in game plays only sporadically, every 30 mins or so.

there's no event music when there is danger nearby, there is no combat music.

 

fights are silent, apart from a very weak clunk when my warhammer hits the target. Opponents are silent.

yet the final deathblow sound (the final aargh, whimper or whatever) of the opponent plays correct.

 

ambient sounds in and out of dungeons (wind, water, leaves, etc) play correct. all dialogues and noises from NPC's play correct.

 

found this in Skyrim.ini :

in

[Audio]
fMusicDuckingSeconds=6.0
fMusicUnDuckingSeconds=8.0

 

not sure if these are correct values

 

It may well be the near absence of music is a 'feature' in SSE, and it's a minor issue to me.

But the near silent fights make me feel like I'm Agent 47 in Hitman.

 

active mods : Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch, ars metallica, capes&cloaks, forgottencity, lampposts of skyrim, the paarthurnax dilemma

I can tell you from my experience, the Unofficial SSE Patch is the culprit. After installing it, I've had some real issues. I uninstalled it, rebooted my system and most issues were gone. Other than my high fps which I cannot get rid of.

hi, thanks for the tips.

@saurusmaximus : I installed mods (all of them) after escaping Helgen. Before installing them everything seemed to be working fine.

I deactivated the ars metallica mod, to no avail. I then removed all other mods one at a time without change to the sound issue (my Dragonborn also has a silent thu'um it seems)..

Starting a new unmodded game didn't solve the problem. I did not reboot the system in between the steps though.

@NCRForever : After rebooting the system both unmodded saves returned the sounds as they should be. Reactivating the USSE Patch caused the same problems with sound as before.

 

So I'll have to do some more experimenting with mods after work.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, both of you. Much appreciated.
