Tks Reece, I will have a look around. Have been using WavePad, but will try something else to see if makes a diff.

If you run into a brick wall just send me the file/files & I will reprocess them & send em back, you can then test, atleast you will know where you stand!

And he didn't mention www.goldwave.com, which is what I used when I converted the Das Boot Sound Mod from SH2 to SH3.

Yes, the attributes should be as close as you can get them, but they don't have to be exact. One thing to watch for is stereo and mono. The .wav sound files can be in stereo, but the .ogg files must be in mono, or else. I'm betting that's where your problem is, since I had the same thing happen back when I did that conversion, three years ago.

Thanks guys

.

@Steve ... as a matter fact, I'm pretty sure that I saved one or two of the ogg files in stereo, 'cause I figured it would maybe sound better, but the originals were mono. I suspect you've hit the nail on the head, and I'll have a look at that first

.

edit/add: Oh, btw, one thing I was messing with was the relative volume of different sounds which play at the same time. eg background hydrophone noise and own prop noise. I was adjusting them by tweaking the volume in the sound file itself, but I'm finding that when they play in-game, they're not getting the relative volumes that I thought they would. I'm thinking that there must be a controller file which adjusts/controls the sound file volumes. What file would that be (if I'm right) and can it be tweaked? :hmm:

Are you using the sound recorder utility that is in your accessories pack and came with your OS ?

You should be able to increase the sound level in 25% increments before saving it and placing it back to it's original location.
