📋 About This Mod
The main menu music in Fallout New Vegas only respects the Master volume slider or its own ini setting, ignoring the Music volume setting. This plugin fixes that.
Installation
Drop MainMenuMusicVolumeFix.dll into Data\NVSE\Plugins\ or use a mod manager like a sane person.
Technical Details
The game has a dedicated fMainMenuMusicVolume INI setting that's hardcoded to only use Master volume. This plugin patches the game code to use the standard fDefaultMusicVolume setting instead, which properly respects the Music volume slider.
Why do you keep making these boring and useless mods?
When testing, you really notice this. And hearing that main intro music play for the 99999th time was doing my head in, same as the console log or toggling god mode on. It also helps me learn engine modding.
A small NVSE plugin that makes the main menu music volume follow the in-game Music slider instead of requiring an INI edit. For Fallout: New Vegas players who want consistent audio levels. Simple DLL fix with 136 endorsements and recent updates.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny fix that solves a real annoyance—no more deafening menu music
- Community-approved with 136 endorsements
- Actively maintained (updated Nov 2025)
⚠️ Cons
- Requires NVSE, so you need to set that up first
- Only affects menu music—doesn't change any other audio behavior
For Fallout: New Vegas players who hate cranking the menu music down via INI edits every time. If you use the Music slider for gameplay and want the menu to match, this is a must-have. Skip if you never touch the Music slider or don't use NVSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have NVSE installed and launch the game through NVSE's loader, not the vanilla exe.
- Place the DLL in your Data\NVSE\Plugins folder—if the folder doesn't exist, create it.
- Test the Music slider in-game and then back out to the main menu to confirm the volume changes.
