You must convert your sound file into OGG format using something like OGGDropxpd. Then it should work. OGGDropxpd will not work with mp3 files though. Make sure "soundname" is a wav file to start out with, drag and drop the wav file into OGGDropxpd. You should then have a file named soundname.ogg. Place this into your mission directory and use the command:

unit1 say "Soundname"

Instead of "playsound".

Hi Oldpz,

See link below:-

http://ofp.toadlife.net/downloads/tutorials/tutorial_sound/tutorial_sound.html

I added some music by adding the following to the description.ext file:-

#include "Cust_scripts\Sounds\Music\Music.cpp"

And created a file called music.cpp with the following code:-

class CfgMusic

{

// ====================================================================================

// The next line defines what tracks you are going play within the mission.

tracks[]={M_TRACK01};

// ====================================================================================

//The next line defines the class name as listed above.

class M_TRACK01

{

// The next line is used so that you can find the track in the effects of a trigger.

name="M_TRACK01 (Paint It Black)"; // Name for mission editor

// The next like is shows where the track is stored followed by the sound level and pitch.

sound[]={"Cust_scripts\Sounds\Music\M_TRACK01_Paint It Black.ogg",db+10,1.0};

// The db-40 refers to the volume of the sound.

// The 1.0 refers to the pitch of the sound.

};

};

// ====================================================================================

Hope this helps.
