cannot hear the music -- is there a simple solution

[Ausome1]

I have gone through all the things people have suggested on line, but no good -- I have a poor understanding of sound cards, URLs, etc -- there have been times when I heard the music and would like to again.  Can it have anything to do with my internet connection? ...

You have had problems with clothes ( http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/everything-was-fine-until-earier-today-now-everything-is/qaq-p/1306287 ) and with IMs ( http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/I-can-never-initiate-an-IM-is-this-because-internet-is-too-slow/qaq-p/1306291 )

I think it's important to know the specifications of your computer. Open the SL viewer and, without login, see Help > About Second Life. Copy and paste that info in your post (OPtions > Edit). Add what internet connection are you using. Thanks

Hello Ausome. Could be relative with your internet connection. However, as Irene mentioned we need to know some details about your system specs and also about your internet connection. If you use wireless, just avoid it, it is no recommended for SL and prefer direct cable connection. Your internet speed should be at least 1Mbps (you can check it out at http://www.speedtest.net/ ). If you see lower speed, here is the answer. If you see higher speed, you need to increase your Maximum Bandwidth in world (under Preferences --> Setup). If you don't hear music in some regions, have in your mind that some regions have no music (stream). Sometimes also the music stream can be offline temporarily or the url on the region is invalid. Btw when we say url (uniform resource locator) we mean with simple words the name of a web page which is unique ( a reference to an Internet resource). Url is what you see on the address bar with your browser.
