Sound Injector not working

[Chg001]

the sounds are appearing in the music_misc_2_m.pck file but not actually playing ingame

Did you install the sounds when the game was running in the background? That’s what I did and was having the same issue. I closed the game and reimported the sounds and it worked.

Yes i have even just tried using task manager to close down steam and then doing it but the music stays the same

Close SE and reopen the file again. Do you still hear the changed music in SE? If so, then at least it's not because you had the game open. Next, please try to change another file. There is always the chance that a file exists multiple times (through different archives or DLC files). If all this does not work, then unfortunately, I don't  know any other  solution. But if the game still plays the original file, then it is most likely due to one of the two problems (write-protected sound archive or duplicate files). Or you are working with a file from another (backup)folder, which I exclude here ;).

I just tried both of your suggestions. And yes when i close and reopen SE i hear the new sound but i don't hear it ingame. I also checked the write permissions and i have full control. When i have looked at videos online of how to do this they run Update_Index.bat but after i run that the game will not start and gives me a crash. So i use rebuild def in wwe 2k18+. Thanks for the response though!

Wait.. Do you hear the original theme in the game or do you hear nothing? If it is nothing then its most likeky due an older or not compatible wem file. Regenerate the cache / rebuild def is not needed for sounds, only for Pac files!

Which sounds have you tried to replace? Could you upload your pck file?

I figured it out! the .pck files i was using in SE were backups like you said. Thanks so much for the quick help!
