Mr. Dr. Proffesor:
Hello. I am wondering what is wrong with this code.

datablock AudioProfile(Boing)
{
   filename = "./Boing.wav";
   description = AudioClosest3d;
   preload = false;
};

datablock AudioProfile(Breathing : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Breathing.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Creepy_Violins : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Creepy_Violins.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Keyboard : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Keyboard.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Trombone : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Trombone";
};

datablock AudioProfile(WEE_WOO : Boing)
{
   filename = "./WEE_WOO";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Welcome_WEE : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Welcome_WEE";
};

I made sure I spelled all of the sound files correctly.

Kyuande:
Avoid using generic sound names, add Sound or something at the end of each name.

I do not see what's wrong with the code, what are you having trouble with?
Sound issues?: Some of your filenames are just the file name, I do not see a .wav, make sure to name them correctly like that or they will never work - Make sure the sounds are mono (use something like audacity)

Mr. Dr. Proffesor:
The files appear in the addons select in Custom, and in the playsound event. When you event it (onActivate Self playSound Trombone), it doesn't play the sound. I got the base code from Sound_Beeps, and I just changed the sound names. I will try setting it to mono right now, and what do you mean by generic names? In Sound_Beeps, the sounds are just labeled Beep_EKG, Beep_No etc.

Kyuande:
that has more characters, putting a name like "Boing" as just a name is too generic which is bad practice for naming datablocks and objects.

Here's what I am saying for those ones without the .wav
datablock AudioProfile(Welcome_WEE : Boing)
{
filename = "./Welcome_WEE";
};

The game reads it as "Add-ons/YourAddOn/Welcome_WEE" which isn't actually a file - so it may not play the sound at all. It needs to be:
datablock AudioProfile(Welcome_WEE : Boing)
{
filename = "./Welcome_WEE.wav";
};
Then the game will read it as: "Add-ons/YourAddOn/Welcome_WEE.wav" which is an existing file which should play the sound

Mr. Dr. Proffesor:
Ok, so I fixed all of the filenames to filename = "./Soundname.wav"; and it still has no affect. I also converted all of the sounds to mono. Could the generic names have anything to do with the sounds not working?
