With previous versions of OS it was possible to turn off music playing with Photos slideshows, but doesn't seem possible with Sequoia (15.5). I can hit the mute button but hoped there'd be a way of disabling it permanently. Would welcome solution - if there is one.
If you want to be heard by Apple, reemember this is a user-to-user forum, you need to use this link: Feedback - Photos - Apple. Apple programmers/engineers are not here just end users like yourself.
Have Tested using Sequoia 15.5
Seems the feature to play without sound is not possible
You could ask for it to brought back
Though, at this late stage in the development of macOS 15 Sequoia
Doubtful
All the new developments seem to have switched to the up and coming macOS 26 Tahoe

Which Apple track is more acceptable when I’m trying to watch a slideshow of my daughter performing her songs that I recorded at her recital and stitched together into a slideshow. Exactly which song should be overdubbed mixed into her performance? Apple -Fix this back to before!
You can't. I'm referring to the macOS Photos library. That's what this topic is about.
Yes the project option works, but if you just want to look through albums already created on the Mac, it seems unnecessary to have to convert them into Projects. And yes, I can select different music, but would prefer not to have any at all - so it'll have to be the mute button.
Seems a simple option for Apple, though.
Ok. I don’t have a Mac. These are issues I’m having on entirely my iPhone. The music feature is now active on any and all slideshows I attempt to create or play with my iPhone. Not a useful feature to have two songs playing simultaneously during the entire slideshow. What kind of genius at Apple thought this was a good idea, but didn’t think it was a good idea to have a “no song” option to overlay onto slides. Sorry for venting. My iPhone is now absolutely useless for any slides containing audio or video clips.
You can remove the music in a sideshow if you create the sideshow as a project.
Or, you can change the music to a more acceptable Apple provided track by clicking on the middle button in the lower left hand corner of the slideshow.
Thanks - I feared as much
You are welcome
Thanks. Will try that
Where do I find the project option on my iPhone? I’m not seeing that anywhere.
Unable to turn off music in Photos slideshows
