I've tried specifying the channel but didnt change anything.
My sound is definetly working, the volume on the sfx's notes are higher than 0 and I can hear the statup bleeps from Pico-8.
BUT THE MUSIC DOESNT PLAY

Someone plz help me, even if you insult my cringe semicolon

@VUltraBOT I think the program is finishing after _init, that's why the music stops playing. If you add _update or _draw it should continue.

It was actually the lack of a function that runs every frame, the way it is in the picture the program doesn’t even start the music for more than a frame, since the only function is the _init after it runs that the program ends

thank you @Soupster and @MrGoober for the help
