SWTOR Cinematic Playing bug

Product: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Platform:Steam-PC
What is your Star Wars: The Old Republic Display Name? (optional) Argoniumite
What is the AMD or Nvidia Model Number of your graphics card? RTX 3070 Ti
What time did this happen? Please include the timezone. No specific time, continuous
What class were you playing? Sith Inquisitor / Jedi Sage
What role were you playing? Damage
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What happens when the bug occurs? Upon logging into the game, all systems work perfectly, but I can hear the audio of many different opening cinematics/trailers playing in the background during gameplay. Loading in anything new in the game doesnt fix this. Verifying game integrity on steam doesnt fix this. completely resetting my computer doesnt fix this. If I wait for the cinematic to end, it either replays or a new one plays. Here is a video of the bug occurring: https://youtu.be/aYvwesaK9hs
What do you expect to see? I expect to not hear the cinematic trailer music playing in the background.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have no clue how this bug would be fixed.

  • This was happening to me yesterday. But somehow it's working fine again. All I did was disable the sound ingame then stop playing the game for a few hours. When I got back, no more cinematic trailers in the background.

  • Hit Shift+Tab, you will see Steam overlay playing all the trailers. Just pause them or close the steam overlay.

    I have been having this issue myself for over a month when i came back to the game. This worked for me, thank you so much.
