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).

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
