FAQ

Why I can't hear any sound of the addon?

• Make sure your sound effect is open and your sound volume isn't very low.
• Check if you have disabled your current area in the "enable area" options, check if you have disabled the spells you just want to hear.

I want to hear the addon voice only, with no other game sound, can I?

• Yes, you can! Just turn down the volume of game sound -> sound effect, music and ambience, But NOT the master volume. Now the new beta version of GSA use the master sound channel.

How to change the addon volume with the game sound volume unchanged?

• Addon volume is based on the game volume. Someone told me that it's too low and I make it loud enough, and you can turn it down by turn down the game master sound. However, someone want it lower but not lower the game sound. There is an alternate way to solve the problem, you can turn down the mp3 file by yourself. Using a software called "MP3Gain", It can change the volume of mp3 file.

How to add my own voice file and alert?

• Add your own file eg. myspell.mp3 (must be .mp3 or .ogg here) in the file folder /Interface/GSASound.(by default, but you can also use any other one under your wow root)
• Type /gsa to show the config, then select "Custom" ,add and config your sound alerts here.

How to make my own voice set?

• If you want a voice set other than English or Chinese, try to make your voice files with the same names as the files in the folder "Voice_enUS", then copy and overwrite the original files. Select "English (female)" in game, then your own voice set works.
• If your voice set is very good, and you want to share it with others, just email me and add your voice files as attachment.
