Weird sound mod problem.

[ImmortalRevenge]

For some reason every time I change anything about a sound descriptor in the CK it makes that sound play every time a message pops up in the upper left corner.

 

I can't find any reason for it other than it adds an asterisk next to the 0 in the count column. Even if I change something, click ok, and then change it right back to exactly the way it was and save it it will still play that sound every time I see a message up there(like quicksaving).

 

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've spent the passed 3 hours playing with it and haven't gotten anywhere. Still asterick = sound played on message, no asterisk = not, but I can't figure out how to get rid of that asterisk. :wallbash:

Would appreciate any help at all with this, I'm still very new to modding and I can not get it to let me modify sound effects without having it play that sound effect every time it prints a message to the upper left corner.

Strange :-/ Normaly you get a sound like that if you have a bug with your keyboard, have you tried a simple reboot ? Another Problem with the Sound descriptor i may have fixed (but i cannot upload the bugfix, the Nexuspage always say currendly that there is a error uploading new content), here is the description for the fix:

 

After using many Mods and the CK i had a strange Bug inside the Game.

 

Every Time i changed the Weapon, get something from an NPC or at

Onscreen Events there was a thunder sound with echo. Ok, that was very boring.

 

So i've tried a little bit around with the CK and changed the Volumes of the

Sound Descriptors (SD) a little bit to "reset" it (the fix should be loaded at last in

loadorder).

 

How to fix the Problem:

1. Install the SDfix.esp to the Data folder

2. Start the Game.

3. Load a (might be older) Savegame.

4. THE GAME MAY CRASH!!! (use CTRL+ALT+DEL to kill the Task)

5. Go to Data folder.

6. Remove the SDfix.esp

7. Start the Game and play (now with -should be- fixed event sounds).

 

This was working for me very well to fix the Problem, however - what a strange bug.

 

I think you shoud just try to change the SD volumes, and test it with the "play" button.

Not really sure where to get that SDfix.esp(google yielded nothing), but it only does this with my mod enabled and a modified SD. I'm trying to change the SD's sound category and output model. At first I thought I was just changing it to a certain category or output model that was linked to those messages somehow, but it does it when I change it to ANY other output model or any other category.(Even if I change, save, then change back, and save again. Making it the way it originally was by default!)

 

I've even tried using SkyEdit(which I have to admit is growing on me and I hope it get's more features to match the CK), but to no avail. it has the same problem. I did notice that in SkyEdit the asterisk is by it's self under the Tags column and it adds a "0" to the FName column.

 

Could this really be just something with my install causing it?

 

Here's a link to my mod if someone wants to try it themselves and let me know if it happens for them also:

Dragon Hit Sound Fix

 

All you would have to do is install the esp, load up any game(it won't harm anything) and do a quicksave. If you hear the sound of an arrow hitting flesh, that's the bug. If it is just on my end that would actually be a huge relief because then I could at least continue with my updates!
