BGS and SE not working

[Connduit]

My BGM and ME play just fine, and I've checked the box to play sound effects using F1 in game, but they just won't play. I've tried playing the sound effect files in Winamp and they're silent there as well, whereas my BGM files play just fine.

Does anybody know of a solution for this?

try to download again, maybe missing files

Tried that, also verified files, but it appears as though every file was already there. I tried opening them in Windows media player and they work there, but not in the rpg maker sound test or anywhere else in the program.

Is it possible your rpg maker has been turned down in the windows global volume settings? That icon on the right of your taskbar

Double checked, and its max volume, but remember my BGM works in game, just not sound effects

I have literally the same exact issue and it's beyond irritating. I know it's been a while but have you managed to find a fix for this? I have found almost nothing online about it.

Is this your own sound-effects in your own game project, or are you talking about the default sound-effects that come with VxAce?

If it's your own sound-effects, have them converted over into OGG format (other media formats may not always work so well with VxAce).

If even a media-player won't play the sound-files, then there's probably some other issue on your computer.

It could also be possible it's a conflict with a certain hardware on your system.

Have your sound-drivers up to date.

Well, honestly I want to blame the engine. It seems almost like it's an issue with the RTP. I ripped some of the sounds and converted them, renaming them and everything. The sound still won't play from within RPG maker. I don't think its hardware really because it plays fine in media player. It's the exact opposite of what you think too. Imported BGS/SE sounds work fine in the engine. It's just RTP sounds that don't work. They simply will not play on that computer. Used the same project on my other computer with no real issue.

Hey. Ive had this issue aswell. I made a thread about it on the RPG Maker forums and have made some leads on the issue. https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rpg-maker-vx-ace-no-sound-from-se-and-bgs.83475/page-2#post-771629

When you play sounds that dont work in RPG Maker are you seeing anything in your volume mixer?
