Sounds on my plugin stop working after the error appears, I’m forced to restart the place to fix it
Related? This texture worked fine the other day now it won’t load, restarting studio does nothing and texture is still approved on the site
Likely not related. What format was this image?
Is there some workaround for this “Audio file failed to load (18)” problem? I am still seeing it.

I’m working on this. Could you tell me more detail? What game is that and how often this happens? I feel hard to get the context.
The error message has been changed to a more detailed form. There should be an file name printed out. When this happens could you check if the file exsit on your disk?
In testing in local Server/Client mode last night I did see the error message. I assume that was before you added the change since I did not see any filename in the message. Tonight after loading the new version of Roblox Studio I have not yet seen the error message, even though I have experienced the sound loss.
I am seeing this problem in a new version of Armored Patrol that I have not published yet, but players of the current published version say they see the problem sometimes within 10-30 minutes of play, various different sounds are affected, explosions, gun shots, etc, but once the sound stops playing, only exiting and re-entering the game will fix it.
I’ll try to test more tomorrow when I have more time and try to get the new error message to come out.
Thank you for looking into this!

@spotco There should be some error message. So wired.
Could you please check the folder C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Roblox\ContentProvider when this happens if you use windows? Does that folder have files with normal size?
Thanks!
This has been an occasional problem on Shard Seekers for me
Some sounds work, while other do not, it seems pretty random. I’m preloading sounds before playing them if that’s relevant.
It happens to me in my test place for my Notoriety revamp too (sometimes). I don’t have much information but its really random.

I’ve also been getting quite a few complaints about sounds sometimes not loading over the past few weeks (I also experienced this problem at one point). Usually what happens is people are suddenly unable to hear any new custom music on their boomboxes, along with possibly the game’s main background music as well - they’ll only be hearing the basic Roblox sounds (such as character movement). At first I thought players were just having bad internet, but it seems like the problem is affecting a wide range of games and players regardless of individual connection speed.

there is a flag that will be turned on tomorrow that will give more details about sounds failing.

Alright unfortunately flag can’t be turned on this week.
However, for those of you familiar with setting fast flags, an you set this flag:
FFlagSoundLoadAsyncFailureDetailed
to true and screenshot what the errors look like? Thanks 
(there’s a @Maximum_ADHD plugin somewhere that does this…)
I made an attempt fix yesterday. I can’t reproduce this problem myself. So tell me if you still get this error.
yep
could you check this folder if you are in windows? Never mind if you already closed the application.
Thanks for your help. Are those file exist when this error happened?
