You don't have to, but it makes the most sense to do it that way. Unless you're planning on doing without insulation completely.

No, not on interior walls. You should only put insulation where ever you want a sound or thermal barrier. Use that as your guideline.

You only need to insulate the outer walls, and ceiling. I insulated my master bedroom as well, so that it would be more sound proof from the rest of the house.

Shame most of these people can't read the words INTERIOR WALLS. those who answered "for sound-proofing" and "zone control" are correct. And big bonus points to the one who admitted insulating the master bedroom for "soundproofing" woohoo! lol

Unless you like your house cold in the winter and hot in the summer then yes you would insulate in betweeen the studs after the whole wall or roof whichever is done you would apply the sheet rock

If you are doing it for soundproofing (like around a home theatre room) then you need to put the insulation up first.

Sound Attenuation bats are best for interior sound proofing.They're denser than regular insulation.

If the walls are open, you really should, cheaper utility bills, better sound proofing, nothing like laying in bed at night and hearing the TV in the next room. Just do it.

No, and it is probably a waste of money to do so. The only reason would be if you want to define thermal zones so that you can shut off HVAC to part of the structure.

I think the word is "in" not on the walls
