I usually just listen to the game. If I'm doing something I've done 100 times before like grinding dailies I might turn the game music off and put on something else.
I’d have voted for music and game sound but most of the time I don’t even hear the game sound.
Only exception to my music rule is a first playthrough of new content, I like to hear the storyline at least once before bringing music back in.
General dailies, crafting: Own playlist with sound effects/ no music at all, only effects
Questing, trying to be immersed: Game's music and effects
Fishing: audiobooks, usually with the ingame sounds muted
The only time I listen to anything other than the game is when I am sufficiently medicated to only be able to fish. At that point I mute the game and load 80s country on Pandora.
Depends on my mood (rather than what I'm doing). I also like the listen along feature in Spotify so sometimes it also depends on what my friends are doing.
My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.
When PVPing I listen to in game music as it can alert you to goings on that you can't see. When grinding or doing things that don't require much concentration I might listen to a podcast, or some music that pumps me up.
Totally depends on what I'm doing. Sometimes I'll have a streamer on in the background while I am running around doing whatever. If I am in Cyro and not on discord I'm typically listening to a specific aggro playlist consisting of a lot of angry rock music lol (Slipknot/Mushroomhead/Warlock Pinchers/etc). Other playlists I cycle through while playing ESO, depending on my moods include things like:
Ghost/Type O Negative/MM/In this Moment
BMTH/Seether
Viking type music
Plucky shizzzz (Calamity Cubes, James Hunnicut, Jayke Orvis, *** Gallows)
Retrowave
Alaska Bands (Historian, Noise Brigade, The Shoot Dangs!, City in Ashes, Blackwater Railroad, Thera)
90's rock (Korn, Pantera, etc)
PC-NA - formerly, mommadani907Guild: Weeping Angels - Co-GMTwitter: @ Loralai_907 several Alt accounts....CP 1700+
Pink Floyd when crafting. Old school Black Dahlia while doing dungeons and pvp. One day I'm sure I will have a heart attack or stroke but I'll be deaf long before that happens. That in combination with the booze is not good I'm sure.

I don't comment here often but when I do, I get [snip]
I listen to the dialogue if i haven't done the quest before but when levelling alts i listen to 10 hours of rain and thunder on youtube. I find it very relaxing.
I either listen to ingame music/audio, or more often put my headphones on the desk with the volume turned up to give my ears a rest, while still hearing what's going on.
