Sound Alerts don't seem to work on a VPS
12 Jun 2023, 12:06

When I use Notifications.PlaySound(SoundType.Announcement) the log says that it Failed playing on a VPS, however it works well on my machine.

I've checked audio settings and notifications and all seems good to me.

Also tried the old way (trying to play a wav file) and it also fails.

I would appreciate some support for troubleshooting.

Regards,

Have you tried altering the access rights permissions of your bots?

Yes, although the new overload with SoundType shouldn't need it, I've tried with AccessRights.None and AccessRights.FullAccess
