This bug seems to be back with the following ID crashing game servers when played.
3111471683
It crashed Jailbreak, Mad City and Murder Mystery so I assume all games are affected. Seems to crash the server for all clients.

It’s probably due to how Roblox handle corrupted audio, since it doesn’t seem to affect mobile users, well on iOS, not sure if it’s affected on Android.
Another ID that also crashes servers: 3583277608
Currently being abused a lot in Murder Mystery 2

Can confirm. The ID 3583277608 crashes PC and IOS users when played. Not sure about Android.
This is definitely a big issue for games that are very big and popular, and give players the ability to use a boombox or play music. Murder Mystery 2 is a great example, considering it’s very well known around the community. But it’s quite annoying, because players will continue to keep making audios like these, each time one gets removed another will be made.
My server is continuous crashing all the sudden, could this be the issue?

This issue started occurring a few hours ago. There’s a certain audio that is currently being abused in many well known games including Murder Mystery 2, and almost any game that allows boomboxes to be used. The audio ID is 3583277608, but there are probably more audios out there that do the same thing. I’ve experimented with this audio quite a bit, and I can confirm that it is crashing peoples roblox games, I recently went into a game made by @willingnerd to test this issue out. A player played the audio ID I put earlier into a boombox, and after a few minutes it crashed his whole server, including others clients including my roblox client. Now I’m not certain if it’s just this audio, or if roblox audios are somehow getting corrupted and used for bad reasons, like crashing peoples clients. But this issue needs to be resolved, and I know a few people who tried this on IOS and can confirm it also crashes IOS players roblox client as well. This is a big problem, as it will decrease player activity in many games on roblox, which makes roblox and their developers look bad.
It appears this is mainly happening with boomboxes, as I’ve just received word that whenever @willingnerd removed boomboxes out of his game entirely, that the crashing has stopped
Games it’s occurring in:

There’s a lot more than this, but these are the games I’m currently fully aware of the situation occurring in

If you have a way to play music in your game, you should disable this for now. Considering this issue has come up multiple times and there are other concerns about the boombox in Roblox (other bypassed audio, loud audio, copyright audio, etc), the best action is to permanently remove it from your game or whitelist a set of ids. When audio is bypassed, whether is crashes games like this case or is explicit, you open yourself up to these types of attacks from exploiters with enough money.

This is still a problem. Server crashes cause serious problems when it comes to player data. Why is this still a problem 5 years later? This needs to be fixed.
I’ve been having this problem recently as well. One ID that is affecting games is 6072836577
This Problem Happened Again a id being used is 6031980863 keep crashing our game they play it twice to crash people I have blacklisted it but they keep creating new audios everytime this problem need to be fixed

Yup it still works, it must be fixed, this is unacceptable, anyone with an audio id can just crash entire server, I don’t even get why Roblox has this vulnerability

I believe it’s a completely silent audio with an extremely high decibel rate that crashes the roblox SoundService or sound playing instance which then hangs the server.
This is understandably a huge issue but most likely easy to get past moderation approval, perhaps they could also add a decibel volatility scanner in manual acceptance.

Please file new bug reports for new issues. The original exploit from 2015 was fixed in 2015 according to history above.
