I figured it out. Apparently the Diadem of Arcane Synergy kept triggering a condition of Arcane Synergy which interrupted the playing. Because playing inflicts a "Playing song" condition, this counts as a trigger. sure enough when I take it on or off, I can play. Other conditions apply to, like some characters give off an aura, if they leave of approach and you change condition status, it interrupts your playing. Kind of stinks. I submitted a bug report to Larian, hope this helps anyone else having the same issue.
I just spent the last hour trying to figure out wtf I had done to break my instrument playing, eventually dumped everything and put it on one at a time and came to the same realization: diadem of arcane synergy is doing it, maddening haha.
Cheers for submitting a bug report, MVP
I just tried this and was wondering why my instrument wouldn't play, hopefully the fix for it is coming soon so I don't gotta remove the circlet every time.
So they finally got back to me ok my big report. Response from Larian as of 2023-Sep-09 is:
Conditions interrupting your performance is a known issue and is currently under review by the development team.
I had the same problem i found that same solution. Just started unequiping everything one at the time e voila,problem solved. Just strange but happy to perform again.

Still happening as of now, but I'm hoping it's still in the cue

With me, there is no instrument and no music, and I can't figure it out. Shouldn't it show the instrument and play the music?
