Majority of Audio Not Working

Post by Spider-Man » Sun Sep 02, 2018 2:24 am

After replacing some of the sound files, 90% of the game's audio has completely stopped working. The files I used were tagged as .xnb. This issue also occurs even for files that were never moved/replaced, such as the sound played when drawing a katana

Wait a moment: Manipulating core game files and reporting it as a bug is kinda...

Anyway... you're not even providing which files you have tried to change/remove which is kinda the minimum amount of information I need to even begin taking a quick look into this.

Most of the files manipulated were just the weapons' sound effects (such as the M60 and magnum). However, sounds that are supposed to play such as when a round ends or getting killed never play at all, even at max volume:

I don't know how changing some files completely disabled almost all sound in the game, but if there's no fix for this then that's alright.

Verify that all files are intact and the sound should play again.

As far as I know the sound files you're convering to .xnb first have to be converted to a certain frequency/quality/size in order to be played properly in-game. So for example, high quality weapon sounds from other games can't actually be played in their original form. Someone once wrote a tutorial on replacing sound files and said that was the case IIRC; I can't find the post right now, I'll try to provide a link later.
