zealous roseHi there! 👋 It sounds frustrating when your custom audio isn't playing as expected. I can definitely help you troubleshoot this!
Minecraft can be a bit particular about audio file formats. Even if a WAV file plays fine outside of Minecraft, it might have specific properties that prevent it from working in-game.
Here are a few things to check that often resolve this issue:
-
Re-convert your WAV file:
- Ensure your audio has a sample rate of 48KHz and a bit rate of 16bit.
- You can easily (re)convert your audio using an online tool like audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wav. Even if you think your file already meets these specs, re-converting it with this tool can often fix underlying issues.
-
Check in-game volume settings:
- Make sure your Minecraft's MASTER sound channel and any other relevant sound channels (like MUSIC) are turned up high enough for you to hear the audio.
If you've tried these steps and the audio still isn't playing, please let me know! Sometimes mod conflicts can also cause audio problems, but let's rule out the file format first. 😊
