This is a request for a fix:

I've bought the services of a bard for Lakeview, and I usually ask him to play instrumental music when I'm home.

The problem is that I can't HEAR my bard over the Skyrim music in the background inside the house!!!!

Please, please have an auto shutoff of Skyrim music if a Hearthfire home has hired a bard! .... the inns do it, right?


Note that I do love the Skyrim music, especially now, and I've spent literally hours (in-game hours) on the balcony in Forgotten Vale listening to it, and I have the volume up more than halfway because I like it..... but not when I've paid for a bard's services!!!

Yeah, I have this too (Xbox 360). It drives me nuts. Ended up having to fire Llewellyn. Shame really. Hope they fix it.

I ussually turn the music volume down when I request instrumental music (which I always do, don't like the songs that much). I go with the lute. Best background music.
