AudioX provides players with the ability to explore almost every World of Warcraft sound samples (there's almost 50,000 ). It also allows you to exchange samples with other AudioX users via chat hyperlinks.
When updating to AudioX II 4.3.0 it is important that you backup your existing audiox favourites list (WTF\Account\(user)\SavedVariables\AudioX.lua). The first time you start WoW after updating AudioX you should enable AudioX_FixFavs. This will process your current AudioX favourites and ensure they match up with the latest soundlib. FixFavs will disable itself upon completion.
Translators needed - please apply localizations here

Several players have mentioned that they like to keep the number of enabled mods to a bare minimum.Minimap version:-
As AudioX is hardly essential in day-to-day World of Warcraft gameplay, I created a macro to allow you to keep the entire AudioX suite disabled (in addon options) until you need it, at which point clicking on the macro button would load the entire suite (without any need to reload) for the current game session. Xuerian has refined this macro as follows (it's a single line):-
/run for _,mod in pairs({"","_Search","_Options","_UI","_Minimap","_Who"}) do local m="AudioX"..mod EnableAddOn(m) LoadAddOn(m) DisableAddOn(m) end
/run for _,mod in pairs({"","_Search","_Options","_UI","_Broker","_Who"}) do local m="AudioX"..mod EnableAddOn(m) LoadAddOn(m) DisableAddOn(m) end
Note: You can still configure the AudioX to load whenever you start the game. This macro is a way to directly control if/when the AudioX suite loads.
Details in my Author Portal FAQ
While every effort has been made to ensure this mod is error free, you use this mod entirely at your own risk.
table.insert(TEMPLIST,position) TEMPLIST[position] = {string1="whatever",bool1=false,bool2=true}
table.insert(TEMPLIST,position,{string1="whatever",bool1=false,bool2=true})

You need to find the soundpath of the sample you hate first. AudioX can help here by letting you search through 20,000+ sample paths, clicking any results to play them. Once you've found the sample that you hate you need to recreate the soundpath structure in your copy of WoW's Data folder. E.g. If you hate Sound\\Spells\\SummonWarHorse.wav then you'd put a sample called SummonWarHorse.wav (containing any sound you like) into C:\World of Warcraft\Data\Sound\Spells\ . There are several examples of this on wowinterface.com: Silent Horses, Silent Squire, Gun Silencer/Suppressor etc. I should probably warn you that, while Blizzard have provided the means to replace sounds in this way (i.e. without altering files), they have AFAIK yet to state that it's okay to do so.

It is the only file modifications they actually do allow.

AudioX II 4.1.0/1 Released
Note: The changes to AudioX_Who are minor, but haven't been thoroughly tested due to a lack of spare time. They *should* work, but if you experience any problems simply disable the AudioX_Who part of the AudioX suite (the rest of the suite is fine with 4.1.0).

Great addon! I've been looking for something like this for a long time! There's only one thing bothering me though. Is there any way to play any file with PlayMusic() and not only those with the string "music" in their paths? I will gladly abuse the StopMusic() function! ... and that will prevent sound from overlapping with each other, therefore having a clear listen to it.

The current version of AudioX doesn't provide players with direct control over which play functions are used. I may do something about this in a future version though. I should explain the reasons behind the current system. The problem stems from Blizzard's lacklustre approach to audio in the WoW API. There's no way to tell what the sample contains (be it music, dialogue or sound effects). Likewise there's no way to assuredly instruct a sample to loop or play once only without mucking about with your WoW sound options. To make things worse there's no "sound has stopped playing" event or a way to find out a samples length through the API. I really wanted to be able to play music in a way that would allow it to loop while allowing special effects and dialogue to play once only (the idea of short samples repeating endlessly doesn't appeal). In order to workaround the limitations of the WoW API, AudioX originally treated all .mp3 filepaths as music. Prior to 4.0 this held true in the vast majority of cases, with a very small number of exceptions. When wav files were replaced with ogg in WoW 4.0, all bets were off, so I adjusted the AudioX code to only treat filepaths containing .+music as music (allowing optional playback with PlayMusic), while leaving everything else to play back as a sound effect using PlaySoundFile (which doesn't loop or crossfade etc). This seemed the most practical workaround given the vast number of samples involved (building a database re what should and shouldn't loops being a totally impractical solution). However, now you mention it, I can see that there will occasionally be times when you want to play something that's not obviously identifiable as music with PlayMusic(), and incorrectly identified music using PlaySoundFile(). If I get some spare time (so probably not any time soon) I'll see what I can do to grant players more direct control. No promises though.

AudioX II 4.2.0/1 released
AudioX II 4.2.0/1
It's strongly recommended that you backup your existing audiox favourites list (WTF\Account\(user)\SavedVariables\AudioX.lua). When starting WoW for the first time enable the whole suite, including AudioX FixFavs. Start WoW. You will be informed that FixFavs is processing your Favourites list. Wait until FixFavs has completed. This can take 10 minutes or so. FixFavs will eventually tell you "Favourites conversion process completed". Once it completes FixFavs will automatically disable itself, and will not be required again until the next AudioX update at the earliest. Full list of changes
