Orsino was lovesick because his mind was always on Olivia even though she did not return his love. He was continously sending courtiers and lackeys to go and woo her for him, and that is what Cesario's job was. He asked to hear music continously, becuase "If music be the fruit of love play on." He is sick for the want of love returned to him.
hope this helps!
God bless you

He loved Olivia, who didn't return his love because her father and her dear brother had died and she's in mourning. He thinks she should get over it, but she can't, therefore he is lovesick over her unreturned love.
" If music be the food of love,play on." --Duke Orsino
