Does anyone else do this?
I love to play Brawl but I don't like the limited music selection so I hook up my iPod to one of the av jacks on my tv, mute the music and balance out the left and right speaker till i get the right balance of music and sound effects.
Does anyone else do that for a certain console game they really like?

No, I thought the only really good thing about brawl was the music.

I like the music but there's only a few songs for each stage and they get old after a while.Originally Posted by Pok

That way seems tedious and stupid to me when I have my laptop sitting behind me.
But yeah, I usually have the TV on mute and my music on behind me. The only games I play without music in the background is something I like to pay attention to (Resident Evil, Half Life series, etc). Games with a good story line that have badass cut scenes.

nah it's pretty easy actually, and it sounds better (to me) cause it seems like the music is a part of the game since it's coming out the same source. It's sounds even better when i run the sound through my stereo equipment. I used to do it the same way you do though so i can understand where you're coming from.

I have my PS2 hooked up to my stereo, so when I play football games, of which I've heard every line the announcers can say, I put on music instead.

I would, but accordions and electric guitars don't fit into any game.

Haha, I didn't mean to sound like a dick there. My bad.
I much prefer my PC's speakers. They shake the floor and break the windows. Lol.

I'm usually laughing at how much my friends suck at games to pay attention to the music. I tried muting guitar hero once, didn't turn out so well.

Music..
I play the game 'Super Smash Brawl Bros' or whatever it is, I just ignore to the music/sounds and play the game.. thats so simple. If you don't like the music/sounds, just turn any kind of speakers off.
Theres your simple answer.

ok...that's not the point of the thread. I used Super Smash Bros Brawl as an example. I don't have a problem with the music...I like the music, just not all the time. I like fighting to other songs everyone once in a while. There are a number of song i like that match the background for final destination, my favorite stage. I also sometimes play music for disgaea and other ps2 gamesI play the game 'Super Smash Brawl Bros' or whatever it is, I just ignore to the music/sounds and play the game.. thats so simple. If you don't like the music/sounds, just turn any kind of speakers off.

The actual question was however "do you listen to your own music when you play console games?" Just wondering if people get tired of listening to ANY game's music once in a while and played their own. I'm incredibly aware that you can simply use the mute feature on the tv to cancel out all sound...I'm asking if people like to switch it up and use their own. I don't have an xbox so I can't play music off the hard drive, so I was wondering if people used an external unit to provide the music such as an iPod.
