HL2 no music is playing. Help please.

I am not getting music when I play HL2. Playing through it again on Oculus. It's incredible. But I'd like to hear the music. Audio sliders definitely turned up. Any ideas?

Make sure your "default play back device' is correctly configured. Any changes you make with the game open will require the game to be relaunched.

Or... do you mean sounds are there and JUST music is missing?

Edit: looks like other people are having issues too and "recently."

It's just the music missing. Sound is fine. I'm playing through the game again using Oculus Rift VR headset. The lack of music jumped out at me during the riverboat sequence, since the moment when the music kicked in during that sequence is one of my favourite gaming moments of all time.
