Can't hear flies sound effect

[Blue_Skies]

I can see the flies and my character gets the queasy > sick moodles but I don't hear the sound effect.

I checked in advanced audio options, under world tab I even put corpse flies at max but still no sound, other sound effects are fine, any ideas what could be problem?

What version are you on? there are no advanced audio options in the latest version, are you using any mods and have you tried disabling them?

[Blue_Skies]

41.68 (none), I disabled Advanced Volume Enabler mod but for some reason it still showed up in options so I thought u guys put it back in. Anyways I had to unsubscribe from steam workshop for that mod to not show up, but tried new default game no mods enabled still no flies sound effect.

Do I need to unsubscribe all mods from steam workshop to be sure no mods are affecting game?

Tried verifying your game files?
Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Local Files > Verify Local Files

If it still fails, can you start a new game with the issue and then share your console.txt file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
You can use any file sharing website of your choice or file.io and pastebin.com for example.

Yes verified local files, disabled all mods, new apoc game, 50 dead zombies in a kitchen can see flies but no sound effect.

Thx Beard

It looks like you have several mods loading at game start. Can you go to the Zomboid folder and delete the "mods" folder there? Then retry

[Blue_Skies]

Removed mods folder, but still no flies sound, a new mod folder showed up when I started the game with two files inside both files pretty much empty:

default.txt:
VERSION = 1,

mods
{
}

maps
{
}

reset-mods-41_51.txt:
If this file does not exist, default.txt will be reset to empty (no mods active).

new console.txt

In the load game screen it says there's no mods and I disabled all mods in the main screen too, so it's odd for any mods to load. Is it worth trying unsubscribing to mods in steam workshop?

[Beard]

Yeah there are no mods loaded this time, though there are no missing sound errors. So it is likely that there is some setting perhaps causing the problem? I would recommend deleting everything in the Zomboid folder except the Saves folder.
This should wipe and custom and mod settings. You could also just delete the "sounds" file in that folder as perhaps there are some custom settings applied there that would disable the sound, though deleting the Zomboid folder is the more surefire option.

No luck, deleted the sounds.ini file no fly sounds, deleted whole user/zomboid folder still no fly sound so I deleted /steamapps/common/projectzomboid folder, uninstalled from steam and reinstalled, fresh new apoc game no mods enabled, killed over 100 zombies this time to make sure, saw the flies and waited for queasy moodlet to make sure flies where actually registering and still no flies sound.

I unsubscribed from all mods in steam workshop just to make sure but still no luck, I think this started happening a while back 41.4 or 41.5 should've reported it back then

Honestly its not a big issue I'm always on the lookout for queasy moodlet and there's plenty of time to deal with it. If there's other things u want me to try let me know.

[Blue_Skies]

Woohoo flies sound are back, not sure what triggered it but I loaded up an old game and I could here them, funny the things u miss, thx again!

Is there a certain number of corpses that need to be near you to hear the fly sounds? I have never heard them and been playing at least 2 weeks now.

[Blue_Skies]

Don't think there is a certain number that triggers the flies, think it's random, I can kill 10-20 with no flies and the next two I can instantly hear the flies.

If u can see them flying around but not hear them give above suggestions a go, fixed it for me.
