Problem playing sounds in a mission

[Ex3B 266]

So I'm trying to spruce up a single player mission series I've made (using assets of my own mod - modified A2 ports and modifications of other open source mods) by adding some speech (using online text2speech generators) instead of just text over the radio.

 

I'm starting with the first missions which open with "F-35Bs", and its really useful just to know when the AI wingman fires a missile, as what type. So to that end, I've added event handlers so that the player and the AI wingman will use NATO brevity codes when firing vehicle weapons:

this addEventHandler ["Fired", 
 {  
  if (_this select 1 == "EX3B_gatling_20mm") then { playSound "EX3B_Guns_1"; player_1 sideChat "Guns Guns Guns";};  
  if (_this select 1 == "EX3B_gatling_API_HE_20mm") then { playSound "EX3B_Guns_1"; player_1 sideChat "Guns Guns Guns";}; 
  if (_this select 1 == "EX3B_gatling_25mm") then { playSound "EX3B_Guns_1"; player_1 sideChat "Guns Guns Guns";};

 }

The event handler seems to work correctly, and the side chat messages show correctly... but in the middle of combat, I don't want to be reading sidechat to know if my wingman has already fired an ARM at the radar or not. I would like to hear it (and also for ambiance/immersion, if I get this working, I will add a lot more speech to the missions).

 

The sounds being referenced are in an addon I made "EX3B_sounds", which is packed loaded with the same mod that adds the F-35B( named the "AV-35B Phantom" in the mod, but whatever)

EX3B_sounds.pbo contains the .ogg files for the NATO brevity codes, and a config.cpp file as follows:

I get no error messages (I used to get error messages that the sound file was not found, but I was able to fix that), I just don't hear anything.

 

What am I doing wrong?
