Windows Skull Cavern Music Cutting Out When Descending Ladders/Shafts (1 Year & No Updates)

[TwistedBacon]

Title basically sums it up pretty well. When inside of the Skull Cavern ever since 1.6 released, going down a floor would cause any playing music to stop playing. It is very irritating as the music makes the skull caverns far more amusing. This seems to randomly occur as some times descending a ladder does not stop the music, but other times it does.

• LATEST Version for Windows 11 PC Steam
• English Language
• Single-Player, but happens on Multi-Player as well
• Keyboard/Mouse
• As mentioned in the title, it has been 1 year and this bug still persists. It does not do this with the mines, only the skull cavern.

I'm having the exact same problem still (July 2025) and it saddens me to no end because I love the skull cavern music so much :(

I can confirm that this happens not only on Windows but also on the Switch. The music will play for a few levels, but then abruptly stop when going down some ladders. Then it won't come back for a really long time sometimes (several levels of silence). I've ended up having to put on external music because it's just so long without any music at all, and the sound effects by themselves just aren't the same.
