I'm attempting to make a simple soundtrack replacement mod, but while testing it out, an "Audio error" pop-up appears with the text "Failed streaming audio". I believe it's a file format issue, but I've tried .wav and .ogg, but both result in the same error. My searching doesn't turn up anything useful, so I'm hoping to find some guidance here.
#Failed streaming audio file

Have you tried mp3?

I haven't, but I'll give it a shot. This forum thread claims only .ogg, .wave, and .voc are supported: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=41378. It's old though. Is there a bigger list of supported file types now?

I know they recently changed at least their image ingest library
I know this because when helping update a friend's mods, I discovered that some of their png's were in fact jpeg's
And factorio no longer just implicitly handled that

I get the same error with .mp3 :\

You are re-encoding it and not just renaming the file, right?
pine orbit
Exported it out of Audacity for both .wav and .mp3. That should re-encode it, right?

Yeah
I didn't hope think you were, but people can be surprisingly dumb at times and it's faster to get them out of the way early than realize it down the road
What specific file are you trying to play? You can just send it here

No worries. The file I'm testing with is just this one from Terraria. I pulled it from yt and used audacity to change the file type.

I can't see anything I imagine would cause a problem
I've not worked with sounds before so I can't help you any more than I have (attempted to)

All good. Thanks for trying!
