PSOBB EP3 SFX Issue

[brionac]

Am I the only one who can't hear the confirmation sound after installing the PSOBB Ep3 sound pack from the jimdo website? The sound is heard twice here.

I wonder what else isn't working too. For example, I don't even hear items being picked up, and I don't hear any pop-up chat messages. Here's a recent video of me playing with the sound effects package before I uninstalled it.

September 21, 2025, Update: I attached the .pac files with a PAC Manager.exe file from here. Heads up. I'm still on Windows 10. I did have Windows Defender bug me about running the PAC Manager.exe file, but I told it to "Run Anyway" to get back to business.

Here is my common.pac

It has the Ep3 Menu Sounds but it also has a different sound for when you use a consumable. (It's the sound of when you pick up a small energy pellet on Metroid Prime.)

Thanks @Ade. Here's an update on my use of your common.pac I suppose that I should inform newbies that get stuck on which attachments work or not since my common.pac from the first post didn't work.

I'll add a new attachment below with my modifications from other sources like the less annoying sound effects from hard and special attacks too. I also removed the sound for item consumption that comes from Metroid Prime, but you can simply use Ade's common.pac since that also has the menu sounds from episode 3. The catch is that it won't include the less annoying sounds mod.

Spoiler: PAC Details

These pac files are located in a directory that looks like this: C:\Users\"Windows-Username"\"EphineaPSO-Folder"\data\sound

Here's what I found when I used the PAC Manager to hear the samples myself:

city.pac (8 samples)
Sample 7 plays the sound heard in episode 3 after pressing Start Game, or Patch Download

common.pac (214 samples)
Sample 60 plays less loudly when pressing the button for hard attacks
Sample 61 plays less loudly when pressing the button for special attacks
Sample 182 plays the sound heard in episode 3 when moving the cursor or shifting directions in a menu.
Sample 183 plays the sound heard in episode 3 when a confirmation or "yes" sound from choosing something in a menu.
Sample 185 plays the sound heard in episode 3 when a menu is open or when pressing home/start.
Sample 186 plays the sound heard in episode 3 when a menu is closed.
Sample 198 plays the normal sound of consuming an item, but it's different for Ade's common.pac file, which has that sound from Metroid Prime when consuming an item
Sample 203 plays the sound heard in episode 3 when a negation or "no" sound when choosing something in a menu.

Lastly, I did have a side effect from using modified pac files. The sound of rare items ringing from ephinea.pac no longer works from my client.

Quick update: I toggled off the RARE DROP SFX option in Ephinea's Launcher by mistake. To find this setting, go to page 2 after clicking OPTIONS, check the top-left side under the category "Extra:" and look below FAST STARTUP.
