Also no battle "background sound", only the actual sounds of button clicking and direct battle sounds.

as that's sound about all of them in game etc

just the music is muted in game?

just press the unmute button as per guide and then also the music should play, maybe you caught the button by mistake?

please post back if un muting the button works for you, thanks

Unfortunately, still no luck with the ingame music and background battle sounds.
I'm not sure about what exactly you mean with the "unmute button", as I didn't find anything about that in the manual(s), but these are my settings. I can hear the "effects", but I can't hear "background":

Just checked the log file, it doesn't contain anything about sound or background.

Status: offline 		Yes, I'm still here. I just have absolutely no idea how to fix your issue. It's frustrating for me too since I'm not sure how to even troubleshoot it. I basically tell the library to play a sound.

It's a long shot, but can I get your username on your computer? It's possible that if you're using non-English characters in your name it might be causing problems.

Thanks,
Ralph
