    Turn off Zwift’s startup music with this easy hack

    Eric Schlange
    By Eric Schlange

    UPDATE: this hack is no longer needed, as Zwift added a “Title Music” option in the main menu which allows you to turn off the start up music.

    Ever wish you could disable the startup music Zwift plays before you begin riding?

    Some people find it annoying to hear the same song every time they begin their ride. Others simply don’t want any music because they’re already listening to tunes or watching TV. Here’s how you can turn off the startup song:

    • Get to the right location:
      On PC, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Zwift\data\Audio\PC
      On Mac, go to Mac HD\Users\Account Name (specific to your setup)\Library\Application Support\Zwift\data\Audio\OSX
    • Rename file “777200017.wem” to “777200017.tmp”. This file contains your startup song. Changing the extension to .tmp allows you to keep the file on your computer in case you want it back, but prevents Zwift from finding and playing it on startup.

    Thanks to “James C” over on the Zwift Community Forums for posting tip!

    Note: this file may be re-created on our system by a future Zwift update. If the startup music begins to play again after an update, simple perform the same steps above once more.

      Turning the Sound Off

      1. While having a teleconference (remote working) and
      2. Cycling, it is extremely annoying that I cannot just silence the sounds of Zwift

      Having Company PC I do not have admin right to it so renaming files does not work and from UX perspective its anyway a hack not a functionality.

      I doubt that I´m the only person in the world who cycles while having e.g. the passive “Townhall” type of meetings…..

      This is an old post… the startup music is now an option in your main menu in game. It’s called “Title Music”, at the top…

      I look at the App on my phone. I can’t find a “main menu in game” or something called “Title Music”. Could you develop how to cancel all noise coming from this app? Thanks a lot.
