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 also listen to Epic and trailer music, anything instrumental really.

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)

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.
