Question
So basically, I am coding a game where you can play ultimate tic tac toe and simple tic tac toe, but whenever I start the game, the music I added works, but when I turn it down, its barely noticable, but when I click the PlayButton, and go back to home, the music works fine and I can turn it down and mute it, any ideas?
Here is a video to show what it’s doing
Here is the SceneTree for UI.tscn
VibesPlayer is my music player thingy
Here is some of my code to help
UI.gd (The script that contains the home screen)

Here is MusicPlayer.gd (The script that controls the music but is connected to the singleton in my project settings)

# Call play deferred to ensure the node is inside the tree

Let me know if you need any extra scripts or SceneTree’s to help with this, Thank you so much
