Custom Sound Manager

World of Warcraft addon that registers your own sound files with LibSharedMedia-3.0 so other addons (WeakAuras, DBM, etc.) can pick them from their sound dropdowns.

Features

Add custom sounds by display name and file path
Registers each sound with LibSharedMedia as Custom: <name>
Play / remove entries from the options panel
Works with any addon that lists LibSharedMedia sounds

Installation

Install via CurseForge, Wago, or copy this folder into:

World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\CustomSoundManager

Place your sound files somewhere under Interface, for example:

World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\CustomSounds\alert.ogg

Restart the client (or ensure files exist before login/reload) so WoW picks up new loose files.

Usage

Open options with:

/csm
/customsounds
Esc → Options → AddOns → Custom Sound Manager

Then:

Enter a Name (what you want to see in lists)
Enter the full Path, e.g. Interface\CustomSounds\alert.ogg
Click Add
Use Play to test or Remove to unregister from this addon’s list

Other addons will show the sound as Custom: YourName.

Path rules

Rule	Example
Must start with `Interface\`	`Interface\CustomSounds\ping.ogg`
Must end with `.ogg` or `.mp3`	`alert.mp3`
Forward slashes are normalized to backslashes	`Interface/CustomSounds/a.ogg` → OK

If a newly added file is not seen as a loose asset yet, the addon may warn that a client restart is needed.

Removing a sound updates this addon’s saved list; other addons may need /reload to refresh their dropdowns.
