Hey there, welcome to this post, This post will provide you with information regarding the Age of Mythology: Extended Edition – Fixing the No Sound Effect Problem, and we hope you will find this material helpful.

When Titans were first incorporated into AoM, a sound effect would sporadically play whenever a Titan was injured. A typo in the code that requests this sound effect caused it to stop working when the Chinese characters were added. I’ll explain how to solve this bug in this guide.

How to Fix the Bug Issue

To fix the bug that disables the hurt sound effect on the Titans, there is one file you need to open and edit, titan atlantean_snds.xml.

This file is located in the sounds folder of Age of Mythology. You can usually find this at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Mythology\sound or wherever you downloaded your steam games to.

Once you have found this file, open it with Notepad or any other text editing software and scroll down to <soundtype name=”Grunt”>. The file should look like this:

There you will see that the code defines each Titan’s soundset. Now for some reason, Atlantean is listed twice which breaks the sound effect for every Titan.

To fix this issue, rename the bottom <choice name=”Atlantean”> to <choice name=”Chinese”>. Once you’ve done this, the file should look like this:

Save the file and you should now hear the hurt sound effects for the Titans play in your game!

TL:DR

Code typo breaks sound effect. Fixing typo fixes the sound effect.
