Sound problems

[icecreamassassin]

Tried searching around but couldn't find anything relevant. I use the PlaySound or PlaySound3D command in a script and it does not actually ever play the sound. Also if I am in the TES construction set and open up a sound file and click play, it will not actually play. The sound settings are fine in the game and yes my volume is on :)

 

any ideas why this is happening? Is there a way to export the WAV files from the core Oblivion.ESS file into the sound folder? I assume that wouldn't be necessary but I'm trying everything here.

To get the sounds to play in the CS, I believe you have to unpack them from the BSA file Oblivion\Data\Oblivion - Sounds. To do this action, you use the utility "BSA Commander" which is free and downloadable.

 

That is strange that you cannot make the sounds play from scripts. The sounds should play in-game even if you have not unpacked your sounds.

 

Do you hear sounds when playing vanilla Oblivion? Things like people talking, birds chirping, water running, weapons clashing .etc?

 

I suspect you have a problem with how your script is written. Could you post your script here?

I've tested the sound play from a simple activator

 

Begin OnActivate

Playsound3D AMBBellTower

end

 

 

even this simple of script doesn't do it. I've even plugged the Playsound or playsound3D onto an activator script that functions properly otherwise and when used gennerates an item for instance but the sound doesn't play which I also tell the script to do.

So nobody have any clue why the playsound and playsound3D tag isn't working for me?
