How can I mute the sound effects of one or all skills from a class?

NeoniKa · March 28

I'm looking for a way to mute the sound effects of the Dragonknight's skills. Mainly, I only need to silence one of the sound effects, but I don't mind disabling all DK sounds if it's not possible to choose, it wouldn't be a problem since I don't intend to use this class ever again. I already sought help from Gemini, to see if it could guide me on how to find the respective sound files to delete them, but instead it recommended me to use the FCO ChangeStuff addon, but it didn't work. Since I won't be using the DK anymore, the ideal solution for me would be to delete the sound files related to that class, but I don't know how. Currently, the only solution I have when I'm in a group with a Dragonknight is to disable all sound effects: but that's not ideal, because it also disables the sound effects for my character, and all the other classes that don't bother me. I only need to specifically disable the sound effects for the DK's skills. How can I do it? Is there any known tweak, addon or code that could help? Any ideas?

Interesting. Rather than deleting the sound I suspect you would need to replace it with another, similar to the approach to hide Skyshard icons:
RedirectTexture("EsoUI/Art/MapPins/skyshard_seen.dds", "/esoui/art/icons/heraldrycrests_misc_blank_01.dds")
RedirectTexture("EsoUI/Art/Compass/skyshard_seen.dds", "/esoui/art/icons/heraldrycrests_misc_blank_01.dds")

I have no idea whether there is an equivalent 'RedirectSound' command available though. I suspect skill sounds might be one of the things the game prevents addons from modifying for PvP reasons.

I understand that we can't change the sounds, but what I intend is to simply mute them, not alter them, to gain any advantage. The game options allow us to mute all sounds, even in PVP. I've already done this in Battlegrounds; I need to mute only the DK sounds because they are the only ones (from all classes) that cause me distress, probably due to some higher-pitch frequency used that I can't stand.
