Sometimes I'll have the TV on in the background, with whatever happens to be on Cartoon Network at the time, but other than that I couldn't imagine playing without the ingame sounds and music. They just add so much to the experience and even when I'm questing and/or mucking about at the Argent Tournament I can't help but hum along with the music.

Especially if I'm playing Age of Conan, at that point I keep the TV off so I can enjoy the incredible score to the fullest.

People are entitled to their opinions of course, and my opinion is that the ingame music is so crucial to my enjoyment of the game experience. If it had terrible/nonexistent music, I don't know if I'd be able to play it.

I have a classical playlist that I listen to when I get bored of in-game soundtracks. It's very heavy on Slavs -

Tchaikovsky - "Marche Slave", "1812 Overture"
Stravinsky - selections from "Firebird", "Rite of Spring", "Symphony of Psalms"
Rimsky-Korsakov - "Russian Easter Overture", "Sheherezade"
Dvorak - 7th and 9th symphonies, some "Slavonic Dances"

and on instrumental Wagner.

Bach's "Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor" and "Toccata and Fugue" in D minor are also there; Brahms's Hungarian Dances; parts of Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", and several others I'm forgetting.
