Sound not playing.

[dmarkwick 261]

OK, I've done the search, and I've seen threads identical to this, but as far as I can tell I'm following what everyone else has done but - no sound. I get a "Sound JTDBirds1Sound not found" error.

cfg:

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {};
 class JTDBirds1Sound
 {
  name = "JTDBirds1Sound";
  sound[] = {"\JTD_FireAndSmoke\Sounds\Birds1.ogg", 10, 1};
  titles[] = {};
 };
};

implementation:

_BirdsFlock say ["JTDBirds1Sound",10];

Birds1.ogg in indeed at the location suggested in the cfg. The sound file itself is a file that has previously worked in ArmA1.

OK, wrong forum, but close ;)

You need to add JTDBirds1Sound in sounds[]:

sounds[] = {JTDBirds1Sound};

Thanks saok. I'm sure I've tried that (having scoured the forum for this problem :)) but I will try it again.

Didn't change the error unfortunately.

sounds[] = {JTDBirds1Sound};

It's optional

sound[] = {"\JTD_FireAndSmoke\Sounds\Birds1.ogg", 10, 1};

Writte like that, it means that your sound file is located in :

AddOns\JTD_FireAndSmoke\Sounds\Birds1.ogg

For a sound in the mission folder, you've to remove the first \

sound[] = {"JTD_FireAndSmoke\Sounds\Birds1.ogg", 10, 1};

Are you sure that the root ("\JTD_FireAndSmoke\Sounds\Birds1.ogg") is right?

I have sound-folder in my mission-folder and I have it like this (and its working):

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {PSFX_RINGING};

class PSFX_RINGING
{
	name = "PSFX_RINGING";
	sound[] = {\sound\PSFX_RINGING.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
	titles[] = {0, ""};
};
};

miss from me, you're right

[dmarkwick 261]

Are you sure that the root ("\JTD_FireAndSmoke\Sounds\Birds1.ogg") is right?

As much as I can be :)

Hi there!

I have a similar problem, "sound "X" not found".

After reading through a few topics I edited my description file a hundred times, but it still doesn't wanna work.

Here's the situation:

I have a mission: "testmiss2", in it's folder (documents/arma2 other profiles/myuser/missions/testmiss2.utes) I have the SQM file, the description and a folder named "sound".

In the sound folder I put the OGG file, "radiocheck.ogg". (I recorded this via Audacity)

Here is the descriptions content:

//Mission Header

class Header

{

gameType = Coop;

};

onLoadMission = "testmiss2";

onLoadMissionTime = FALSE;

class Cfgsound

{

sounds[] = {radiocheck};

class radiocheck

{

name = "radiocheck";

sound[] = {sound\radiocheck.ogg, 1.0, 1.0};

titles[] =

{

};

};

};

In the editor I created a radio alpha-activated trigger and I typed this to the "on act." part: playSound "radiocheck".

When I activate that trigger it sends me an error massage: "Sound radiocheck not found".

What am I doing wrong?:confused:

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Semms like it's working now.:)I edited the followings:

- sounds[] = {radiocheck}; >> sounds[] = {};

- name = "radiocheck"; >> name = "";

- sound[] = {sound\radiocheck.ogg, 1.0, 1.0}; >> sound[] = {"sound\radiocheck.ogg", 1.0, 1.0};

and always remember you have to at least save the mission every time you make a change to the description.ext or else the changes will not show.
