This is a weird one. Apparently players can not access the sound options without first unlocking them in Pokemon Sword & Shield. So if you were looking forward to jamming to your own beats while playing the game you’re in for a rude awakening. This option can not be accessed straight away and players will need to unlock it first. However, the process of unlocking the sound options in Pokemon Sword & Shield is not that complicated. You just need to know where to look and for whom.
How To Unlock Pokémon Sword & Shield Sound Options?
While it is fairly easy to unlock the sound options, it is also fairly easy to miss the NPC required to unlock this option. However, this guide will make sure that does not happen. To unlock the said options, players need to talk to a man in Motostoke.
Players can get to Motostoke after the train stops, allowing them access to the Wild Area. To locate the man in question, head straight from the entrance. There will be a couple admiring an Onix under the archway. If you see them, you’re on the right track. There will be a row of stores on the right. Players will need to find the yellow record store with a man in a pink sweater in front of it. Talk to this man and he will give players Hi-Tech Earbuds. These Hi-Tech Earbuds add three sound sliders in the options menu. Players can adjust the volume of the background music, sound effects, and Pokémon cries with these.
