i always leave the sound on. even when i'm in public, i try to leave it on, but just turn the sound to low volume. having no video game music kills the immersion experience for me.

I always play GBA games on my emulator, so I usually turn the sound off and play my own music in the background. I find my music much better to listen to than the electronic ping of video game music.

I always listen to the GBA's with the music on. It shows respect to the creators of the peices. Some musicians put lots of work into the tracks of there games. An fine example would be legend of Zelda. SOme games dont repeat tracks and if you listen closely you can catch the theme. I mena thats why i remember songs from Mario that a normal non gamer would know. Cause some tunes are catchy.

I always play with the sound ON, however, my family, sometimes it annoys them and order me to turn it OFF, so either I play with the volume low or I find a quiet place to play alone.

Depends. At home, I play it on as I'll be charging it anyway. Besides, with the sound on, the game seems more realistic.

It depends if the game has good/addicting music.When I do have music on, it's on at the lowest possible volume.

On of course! Sound is part of the fun :)Unless I'm in some place where I need to be in silence (like hospitals and such) or I'm playing something that I need to be fully focused and the sound keeps distracting me.

I play it with the sound on. I like to hear the music and sound effects, without it the game seems boring.
