May 1, 201313 yr Hi guys, I replaced the default music files, with some WAVs of my own, but they are now not playing at all, when they should be. Are there any sub-conditions to the WAV format, for the files to play? Eg.... My WAV files are 44kHz, do they need to be 22kHz, or any other requirements ? Cheers.
May 1, 201313 yr Did you save the wave file the same name as what was there? Just a thought.. Regards Luke M
May 1, 201313 yr Hi Luke, Yes, I did mate, I kept the same file names, so :- Song1 Song2 Song3 Song4 Song5 ........and they're sitting in: C:\Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Games \ Microsoft Flight Simulator X \ SimObjects \ Airplanes \ mjc8q400 \ sound \ music \ default Cheers.
May 2, 201313 yr the files in there are 22khz, 16-bit, mono maybe try converting yours to that format and see if it works? other than that i have no idea. cheers, -andy crosby
May 2, 201313 yr the files in there are 22khz, 16-bit, mono maybe try converting yours to that format and see if it works? other than that i have no idea. cheers, -andy crosby I can confirm this is correct. I have installed my own using the above wav format and they do play. Regards Paul Edwards
May 2, 201313 yr Commercial Member I let Oleksiy confirm but as far as I know, the format should be exactly the same as the original. And the naming has no importance - the "play music" command will play all the files in the directory.
May 2, 201313 yr Whenever I change a sound file, I do so by remixing/changing the actual file itself and then simply saving it. That way it remains the same throughout and as far as FSX is concerned it's exactly the same file.

May 2, 201313 yr Thank you to you all for the help. I believe the issue is that the files I have used are 44kHz, so I will convert them to 22kHz and see if they work. Useful to know that naming is not important. Thanks!
May 2, 201313 yr All working! Just one last Q on this; Is there a setting in the INI file for increasing the volume of the music file playback? Thanks. :smile:

May 3, 201313 yr If I want to increase the volume of announcements ( I can BARELY hear them), where do I find the .ini to adjust? Ive looked in simobjects/airplanes/mjcq400/anouncements, but all I see are windows media files. Dave Wegner - Don't be afraid of common sense or the search function.
May 3, 201313 yr Commercial Member Music and announcements are very well heard from the cabin, but hardly heard in the cockpit. I suppose it's quite real like that. Anyway, you can individually change the volume in cabin/cockpit/exterior for any kind of sounds
May 3, 201313 yr My settings ;-) ; sounds, coming from the cabin cabin_sounds_map = -1 cabin_sounds_level = 100,80,0 Thanks! ....... these work great :smile:
