    Follow this guide to check your sector size. I'm using an NVME, and according to it, the size is 512; hence, there's no reason to use this fix.

      I had the issue that I didn't hear ingame music. Nothing helped, but this fix did. The sector size in my system is also 512.

      Yeah, well. I don't know, I was using this fix and could notice some stutters and some lag, especially when the NPCs were talking.

      Regarding the FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING page :

      [...] a temporary compatibility solution is to introduce devices that emulate a regular 512-byte sector storage device but make available information about the true sector size through standard ATA and SCSI commands.
      As a result of this emulation, there are in essence two sector sizes that developers will need to understand:

      • Logical Sector: The unit that is used for logical block addressing for the media. We can also think of it as the smallest unit of write
        that the storage can accept. This is the "emulation".
      • Physical Sector: The unit for which read and write operations to the device are completed in a single operation. This is the unit of atomicwrite, and what unbuffered I/O will need to be aligned to in order to have optimal performance and reliability characteristics. [...]

      I'm pretty sure your NVME SSD drive have 4096 Bytes Per Physical Sector (512-bytes emulation, internally the firmware uses 4096 bytes per sector)

    Thanks so much for this! You can't imagine how happy this makes me (I couldn't either). I knew the background music was missing in my game but I had no idea how to fix it. I only got some back after I extracted the sounds.bsa and put the files as loose files in my skyrim directory. But after installing this I finally hear all background music again, vanilla and mod added. This is great :)

    I came across this mod while I was trying to find out why I couldn't hear my footsteps anymore. I just wanted to fix the footsteps, but thanks to this mod I found out that there is background music in the inn.I feel as if I have had a big rock removed from my ear.It is better than any great mod.I still don't understand the detailed principles, I only downloaded it through MO2, but this solved everything.
