Hi,
I bought the Audio FX Soundboard to play random sound clips in an old mini cassette player. I wired up one of the old buttons to the soundboard.
The files are currently named «T03NEXT01.wav» up to «T03NEXT08.wav». The soundboard works well with this configuration, but the point is to play them at random («T03RAND01.wav»). When I name the files for random play, the soundboard won’t play the sounds. I have a green light, but nothing happens when I push the button.
If I rename the files to «NEXT» configuration, all is well again. I have also tried transfering OGG-files with the «RAND»-configuration, but it still won’t work.
PS: I also tried the «LATCH»-naming and that didn’t work either.. What could be the issue? Please help!

Re: Audio FX Soundboard file names
Remove the zero padding in the number after RAND in your filename:
The file names must be 8.3 format. So only 8 characters total in file name. T03RAND01 is 9 characters.
See guide for more info:

Code: Select all
but the point is to play them at random («T03RAND01.wav»). When I name the files for random play, the soundboard won’t play the sounds.wav

Re: Audio FX Soundboard file names
Oh, no way! Is that only for the random config, then? Because there’s 9 characters in my Next-config names.
I’ll try it out and let you know how it turns out!

And it worked a charm! Guess I’ll have to read the instructions more closely next time. Thanks for the help!
