There has been a recent issue with audio files (at least for me) lately.

So, today, I uploaded a project with a song not more than 3 minutes long and 10mb, with ZERO explicit content, and the song worked fine for me when the project was uploaded.

I check now and *p o o f !* audio is gone. It's 0.00 seconds long.

I can't view some music files from others' projects, either.

This has been ongoing for a while now. I don't know why, I don't know how, I don't know if it's fixable, nothing.

Oh, and breaking audio into pieces doesn't work, either. I did this with a meme I made, MULTIPLE times with MULTIPLE breaks, and ALL of the chunks just disappear.

Any help?

(p.s. can this get stickied if it occurs to a large amount of other Scratchers?)

Bump

You too, huh? But for me, I have two entire songs in the project I'm trying to work on that are around the same length, but it only loads one of the two songs, with the song and other audios I put in the stage sprite show as mute and 0:00 seconds long.

Yeah, I'm curious to see as to why this happens.

There's currently an issue with this and no one knows why it's happening, but for now you might have to use TurboWarp.

Gonna bump this, at least with the hope that we can get some word from the ST on why this is happening

I'll just go on a random project and there will be 0 audio playing when there is supposed to be audio playing. So I check the code and the audio says 0.00

Yes, exactly. I am wondering about why this happens.

Because ERR_FAILED 200 OK!

I tried to compile a scratch project and the wave files didn't play. I tried restarting, but, no HDMI output came out. RIP my computer.

I use mp3, but knowing that .vav won't work is helpful.

Bump because this stupid issue still exists

Bumping yet again

You mean where project audio files go from clean as whatever you uploaded, into pieces of static trash nonsense? I heard something like this happened to the original Scratch project called “weekend”. All its audio files are just loud static now for some reason.

No, there's a different issue where the length of the sound goes to 00:00.00. That issue was caused because of changes made in how sound works in Scratch 2.0 (not 3.0).

This bug is annoying. It deleted all my audio from every project I had. I now have to go in and edit them all.

Seems like an audio problem.

It looks like you’re also using a Linux host, (ChromeOS), however both of computers that run that don’t have the issue.
I would try recommending saving the audio file after it gets uploaded to see if it keeps the file. If not switch browsers, try different modes, disable extensions, etc. If not try compressing the file if it’s over the file limit. If it goes over the exact file limit (mostly in kilobytes and megabytes) it either won’t save or will give out an error. 180 seconds is long for Scratch’s servers, which is the reason why it might need to be compressed. You should also try switching accounts, as that has been the problem for most of the issues I’ve encountered.

…I'm not sure what that means because Linux Beta or something like that is blocked by my school.

It would. I don't think I can do browsers, though, because I don't think I can do anything but Chrome.

Been there, done that, nothing happens. Doesn't matter what I do with that, it won't work.
