Same issue here--it makes absolutely no sense to me that nobody has bothered fixing "a broken hot key type" in the six months since the game launched. I would love to have the music on sometimes, but I am not going to have constant orchestral music exploding in my face just because I want to be able to hear everything else loud and clear.

There was quite a KERFUFFLE over this in December and January on these forums, it seems; the general back-and-forth was "THIS IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR" versus "WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?" I fall firmly on the side of agreeing with you. Seriously, one of the only reasons I bought the digital download edition (it certainly was not for the misogynistic holographic dancer) was the training droid, because I was like "I kind of suck at this game and I do not have that much time to play, I need all the help I can get!" Well, thanks, little droid, but if your idea of "assistance" is "float around something for fun," then I do not need it. If it were a mobile training-dummy, that would at least give me the chance to try out new powers in a safe situation.
