Hi Ian.
The sound in question does play if I use it as an attack sound for example, so
renamed. I have extensions off so I assume it is called victory.mp3, I don't
write theextensions on any of my sounds and they all work. Do victory and
defeat sounds need to be under a certain number of seconds or something?
