Installation
Extract the "Sound" folder to your World of Warcraft>Data folder.
To uninstall simply delete the Sound folder.
To unmute specific sounds, delete both the .ogg & .wav versions of the files, if you have trouble finding a specific sound, post in the comments.

There are .ogg and .wav versions of each sound as some sounds can only be muted by one type, since there is no way to know which one without going in game and testing each individual sound I have simply included both regardless.

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. Here is the error log.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. A fix may be coming soon, if it works

Thankfully the issue is only in Molten Core.

It is bearable when there is one mob, but when there are many, it is indescribable. Might there be any possibility of adding a mute sound for them to your addon? Jaspertip Borer and Rockslice Flayer from Deepholm use Flayer Flurry and another Flayer Flurry. Stonecore Flayer from Stonecore uses Flay.

Jaspertip Borer and Rockslice Flayer from Deepholm use Flayer Flurry and another Flayer Flurry.

Stonecore Flayer from Stonecore uses Flay.

All flayers share the same sounds.
Adding these should mute them.

Could someone tell me which sounds files I need, to replace the sound of the melee weapon(s) being drawn and replaced? I've got a little addon that draws (and replaces) my weapon, but the noise is getting a bit repetitive and I'd love to be able to get that covered up / silenced. Thanks!

Going to need to be more specific.

You mean the equip/unequip or sheath sound?

Why don't you just turn off the music in the sound options?

Also you cannot use sounds with zero bytes. They need to have at least 0.1 second length or they cause problems.

jak55 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Thanks for sorting all the sounds out. I agree that total mute isn't really an option because I like most sounds but some are just earpounding. And usually I wear a headset or headphones as well and then the sounds become more clearer or more annoying. Anyway, cheers for all the work you've done. much appreciated ! Alternatively if you CAN'T use zero byte files you can also edit the files in a music editor and normalize or lower the volume of a sound to a minimum. You have to copy the original file of course, do NOT edit the files in those big containers where all the files are. That way the file still has content and can be played without problems I think.

Again, I am not really sure about this. But you could try to copy the zero-byte MP3's to zero-byte WAV and/or OGG ?

Again, my apologies if this doesn't work, but you got to try all things possible.

Or an other problem MIGHT be that music files can NOT be zero-byte and need to have content somehow.

Sorry for the late reply. Been busy.

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20997...ind+sounds.zip
Site will hold the file for 7 days, If you miss it, private message me.

For future reference. All sound files must be at least 0.1 second long. Quality and size of the file does not matter.

Hentaya A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Praise and Requests Love the mod, love customizing it by hand, have done this since release (which is part of the request), great work on Tyrael's so far, been looking for that swoosh myself. Requests: Just two of them. First, those @$#%@#$% gulping and chomping sounds, including, but not necessarily limited to: Sound/Interface/iDrinking1 Sound/Interface/iEating1 Item/UseSounds/iEating1 Before I figured out how to replace these, I literally could not use sound at all. These sounds just squick me too much. So, anything that generated eating or drinking sounds (if you find/know of more...) would be great to include Second one is harder. There's some humming sort of sound our Disc priest would always generate. Tried to track it down to an aura or a spell, and we never could, so our best guess is that it's a secondary effect (hopefully NOT from an item). It's so loud it just fills the ears. I'm sure the research on this would be next to impossible, but, one never knows how bored an author, or the general populace, can be. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I have a priest and do not have any humming sounds, find a priest that is making the sound, check his buffs and trinkets. See if you can narrow it down.

Probably referring to Inner Focus. And yes, it is annoying.
