Still, I've seen mods just replace a certain audio file with a silent one and that does the job. esp from ISC, the sound file in question could be muted by replacing it with a silent one.Īnd it was the file ending '004' which had to muted to get rid of the sound at longer distances. esp file and I suspect the audio files can't sometimes be muted by using silent files without an.
So I downloaded the whole mod and installed with NMM. Much to my surprise, even if all the four audio files were totally silent when opening them in VLC, none of them were changed in-game. I tried downloading Immersive Sounds Compendium mod manually and tested which of the four audio files for the flesh impact sound was used in the long distances, and muted one at a time. No matter how far you go, you always hear the same impact sound as if you were 10 meters / 30 feet from the target you shot.
It should be way quieter when the player and target are further away from each other, but it doesn't. However, the file named 'arrow_impact_flesh_004' is used for way too wide of a distance range (from player to target) That said, there are four arrow flesh impact sounds, shown in the attached image. The sound when you hit an enemy with an arrow from a distance, is just as ridiculous and unrealistic as if there was no sound when hitting an enemy with a melee weapon.
