WAV replacement (unit soundset) is silent in-game

Hello,

I replaced the Zergling's "what" sounds using PyMPQ. Image: https://www.coh2.org/file/19030/sc-wav-replace1.png
In-game, it resulted in no sound. I replaced 3 of 4 "what" sounds, the 4th, unreplaced one, still played.
The custom sounds are .wav, so what do I need to change about them? Comparison: https://www.coh2.org/file/19031/sc-wav-replace2.png

I attached one of the custom .wav sounds: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/pastebin/691a9a28b87a0b5e4f794c193098a56221561/

The default sample rate in SC classic is 22KHz. Maybe the too-high sample rates are not playing due to the engine limitation of some kind.



Trial and error... mostly error.

Thank you, it has worked! :D
Settings: 22050KHz, 1 channel: https://www.coh2.org/file/19032/sc-wav-replace3.png
I used this site to convert it: https://online-audio-converter.com/de/

The game can play sample rates higher than 22,050Hz, I think the issue with your original custom sound was the audio format. It uses IMA ADPCM compression, but SC should only be able to read PCM (uncompressed). Presumably, converting the wav using that site generated a sound file without the compression scheme.

Ah. That was the second idea I had, but I thought the sample rate was the culprit (as it was so way out of what SC usually had; I know that 44100 KHz files played alright).

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
