Question

So basically, I am coding a game where you can play ultimate tic tac toe and simple tic tac toe, But when I start the game, the music works, but as soon as I click the SettingsButton, the song restarts itself again, any reason why? I have been troubleshooting this for about an hour now and cant seem to find why, please help.

Here is a video to show exactly whats happening

here is settingspopup.gd (where the settingspopup is)

Here is settingspopup SceneTree

UI.GD SceneTree

Here is all the Scripts if u need them, let me know if u want specific scripts.

Here are all the Scenes

Singleton/Autoloads

Audio Buses:

Sorry if this seems confusing, but, Let me know if u need any scripts or SceneTrees

Nevermind, I solved it myself it was the command from

func initialize_controls():
	# load_mute_state()

	vibes_player = get_node("/root/Control/VibesPlayer")  # Adjust path if needed
	print("Vibes Player Status Before Initialization: ", vibes_player.volume_db)  # Debug volume level

	if vibes_player and not vibes_player.playing:
		vibes_player.play()  # Start music if it's not already playing
		print("Vibes Player Started Playing")  # Debug to confirm play start
	else:
		print("Vibes Player Already Playing")  # Confirm music is already playing

	print("Vibes Player Status After Initialization: ", vibes_player.volume_db)  # Confirm if volume changes

It was load_mute_state() so i disabled it
