please give more info. we can assume that this is for a Torque project and we can assume that sounds play fine in other applications...any other info you can give us?

Here's the code im using. when the wav file is triggered its really low to the point where i turn the volume up to the max and still have to put my ear to the Speaker.
When i play the wav file through a media player it plays at a correct volume.


datablock AudioDescription(AudioDefault3d)
{
volume = 100.0;
isLooping= false;

is3D = true;
ReferenceDistance= 20.0;
MaxDistance= 100.0;
type = $SimAudioType;
};


datablock AudioProfile(thanks)
{
fileName = "~/data/sound/winner.wav";
description = AudioDefault3d;
preload = true;
};

You have it marked as 3D... which means you'll only be able to hear it within a certain distance, and the closer you get the louder it is. Are you standing right next to the emmitter when listening for the sound?
