It basically adds more sounds to lib SharedMedia so it can be used with AddOns like WeakAuras.
The offered sound mostly focus on the raiding / dungeon scene.
The added sounds are marked in red, as seen here:
Non-registered sounds:
- PI (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\PI.ogg)
- PS (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\PS.ogg)
- Bark (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Bark.ogg)
- BoP (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\BoP.ogg)
- Sac (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Sac.ogg)
- Innervate (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Innervate.ogg)
- Physical (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Physical.ogg)
- Magic (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Magic.ogg)
- Fire (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Fire.ogg)
- Poison (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Poison.ogg)
- Disease (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Disease.ogg)
- Curse (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Curse.ogg)
- Bleed (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Bleed.ogg)
- Cross (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Cross.ogg)
- Crosswave (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Crosswave.ogg)
- Wave (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Wave.ogg)
- Shield (Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia_Causese\sound\Shield.ogg)
Non registered sound's path has to be entered manually and can't be selected in the dropdown. This is to reduce bloat.
Example:
How to make sounds louder:
- Simply go to System -> Sound (ingame)
- Increase "Master Volume" slider to max (recommended)
- Decrease slider of other sounds channels (sound,music,ambience,dialog)
Would you be able to share which voice or software you are using for your audio? I've made several TTS on my own but they don't quite sound the same and I want it all to match the ones you have. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I probably should have initially asked this, but which voice are you using? Is it microsoft Zira?

After installing the update today, I noticed in raid (on mythic sire) that boss dialogue seems "further away" and it much quieter. The proximity decrease in volume seems exponentially more severe, meaning I have to be literally on the boss to hear the voice lines and it's still not very loud. All my system sound settings in WoW and on my PC are the same as they've always been. It's just dialogue that seems messed up. I'm not blaming this addon at all, but I'm wondering if there's a correlation that others can help identify if they also have this issue. No other sound anomalies in other games or applications (such as discord).
In reply to Fluffeepuff:
That is some tinfoil stuff :D
All the addon does is register new sounds. That's it
Maybe you enabled "Distance filtering" in wow's sound options which reduces sound over distance.
In reply to causese:
I'm pretty sure the cause was my "Sound Channels" setting in Sound settings was set to 'Custom' instead of Low, Medium, or High. Very weird and not sure what changed it to a possible setting that a user can't even select. Distance Filtering is still enabled (it was before) and everything seems to be 'normal' now that I set Sound Channels back to high.
In reply to Fluffeepuff:
Custom sound channel is usually when you override it with a value that is higher than wow supports by default. It is actually a good thing since it stops sounds from cutting off (something that I recommend people to do in my raidWA's description but the user has to do that manually)
Hey, does this addon work with Bigwigs ?
In reply to palominoxi:
it should be usable with anything that allows you to set sounds (as long as they have libSharedMedia in the addon's libs folder)
Fantastic addon, it's been very helpful with getting more precise audio cues for DBM and WeakAuras.
A few suggestions for new sounds: "Defensive" (to help with knowing when to pop a personal), "Run away", "Shield" (for when something has a defensive buff), "Absorb", "Portal", and "Boss" (to let you know to switch back to the boss). Possibly "Mirror" as well, given the current raid, although that one wouldn't have much use in future content.
Also, it might be nice to have sounds for each type of crowd control, or at least the major ones ("Stun", "Fear", "Disorient", etc).
Also also, it looks like there's a "BoP" sound file, but no corresponding option in-game to actually use it for DBM or WeakAuras.
In reply to Muspel:
Check addon description to understand why some sounds are not registered currently. (like BoP)
Portal seems to similar to Gate
Defensive seems to similar to SelfCD
Run away seems to similar to Move and I like shorter sounds
Boss is offered by default WeakAuras sounds so I kinda want to avoid it
Mirror is too similar to Enter
Crowd control related sounds will mostly likely just bloat your ear with useless info and overlap with other sounds that are more important.
Got this error today in bugsack when I logged into the game...
3x Error loading SharedMediaAdditionalFonts\Libs\LibStub\LibStub.lua
Any ideas why?

In reply to causese:
oh sorry about that, thank you!
I love it, and since I've seen you being so receptive in the comments I'll throw in some hopes of my own - sounds for Very Important Abilities deserving of a sound. Obviously don't put a sound on everything, but these sounds would be great for me:
-Innervate: as a healer you hate when you get this randomly cast on you instead of planned but a sound cue would make it less awful
-Power Infusion or PI: same as Innervate but for dps
-External: not realizing someone used PS/Bark/Sac/etc on you is bad
-BoP : blessing of protection is a special type of external deserving of a unique sound imo
Even if these can't be implemented thank you for your work! Love the addon
In reply to kenneth__wow:
I try to avoid bloating the addon with sounds that are not necessary since the list keeps getting bigger.
I usually add things like "Buff" or "HealCD" to "compress" them into one sound.
With that in mind, in what kind of environment are those buffs used at random?
I'd assume that decent guilds do some planning on who gets the buff so the sound would just be a double-dip
and adding something that only serves pugs might not be the way to go.
It's probably also one of those sounds that are harder to understand by the non english community.
For now I'll add it but not directly to the dropdown, meaning you have to specify the path manually in order to play the sound. (see addon description)
In reply to causese:
I see your design philosophy, that makes sense to me. I just had been using your sounds in a different way.
To me buff meant something like an enemy getting a damage buff, and I have it set up for a bunch of auras that way, so it would be confusing to use them for both.
Thank you!
