"failed to create decoder for mp3"
Good morning,
For some chapters, I have this audio playback error, in other words the music does not play for certain areas (like chapter 1 for example). Has anyone had this error and know how to fix it?

Hey guys, I've just posted a comment on the main page of the mod. Please, try to look if any of the methods I provided work for you both.

Hello, Today I uninstalled all Black mesa mods (including blue shift), then I uninstalled Black mesa (deleting all local files). Then I reinstall Black mesa then the blue shift mod but I still encounter this audio error (while all my drivers are up to date). Do I have to reinstall windows because I don't understand what causes this error? is something wrong with my computer

Can you provide a link to the comment? I can't find it. I'm facing the same issue with the Soundtrack not playing throughout the game (i just started the first chapter so i don't know if the issue persists on the other chapters as well)

Sorry for not replying sooner. I was a bit busy. Yeah i tried reinstalling the mod, should i try reinstalling Windows 10 altogether? I did try downloading a few Ogg decoder packs like a dev suggested in the comments but it didn't work

Here are my specs:
RAM - 8 GB (6 GB usable)
Processor - AMD Ryzen 3 3250U with Radeon Graphics, 2600 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors

can you provide a link to this comment? And maybe where did you find these packs?

I think you have to format the hard drive and reinstall the computer. That's what I plan to do with one of my desktop.
