### <span style="color:#4ecdc4">Sound System:</span>
**<span style="color:#05dffa">BLU uses a 3-tier sound system:</span>**

1. **<span style="color:#2dc26b">Default WoW Sounds</span><span style="color:#3598db">:</span>** <span style="color:#e67e23">Original game sounds (no volume control)</span>
2. **<span style="color:#05dffa">BLU Internal Sounds</span><span style="color:#3598db">:</span>** <span style="color:#e67e23">Custom sounds with 3 volume variants — High, Medium (default), Low</span>
3. **<span style="color:#b96ad9">External Sound Packs</span><span style="color:#3598db">:</span>** <span style="color:#e67e23">Auto-discovered from other loaded addons at startup through BLU's native bridge/discovery system. Devs can register full BLU-compatible packs via `BLU:RegisterSoundPack()` or simple bridge packs via `BLU:RegisterExternalSoundPack()`</span>

### <span style="color:#4ecdc4">Sound Pack API (for addon developers):</span>
<span style="color:#e67e23">For clear instructions on both supported pack types â€” simple single-file third-party packs and full BLU-compatible `_low` / `_med` / `_high` packs â€” see the</span> [<span style="color:#05dffa">Sounds Guidelines wiki</span>](https://github.com/DonnieDice/BLU/wiki/Sounds-Guidelines)<span style="color:#e67e23">.</span>

```lua
-- Full BLU-compatible pack with low / medium / high variants
BLU:RegisterSoundPack("my_pack", "My Pack", {
    my_pack_victory = {
        name = "Victory",
        file = "Interface\\AddOns\\MyPack\\media\\sounds\\victory_med.ogg",
        category = "all",
        source = "BLU",
    },
})
```

<span style="color:#e67e23">The wiki covers both supported approaches: `BLU:RegisterExternalSoundPack()` for simple single-file third-party packs and `BLU:RegisterSoundPack()` for full BLU-compatible 3-volume packs.</span>

## Custom Sound Shortcuts

BLU still supports no-edit auto-detect for common numbered files like `custom01.ogg`, but the main user-friendly flow is now built into the Sounds tab.

Recommended in-game flow:

- Open `/blu`
- Go to the `Sounds` tab
- Use the `User Custom Sounds` panel on the right
- Click `Add Custom Sound`
- Type a short name like `myfile` or `myfile.ogg`

BLU will try common AddOns locations automatically and add the first compatible match it finds.

You can also use slash commands if you prefer:

Examples:

```text
/blu addcustom myfile
/blu addcustom myfile.ogg
/blu addcustom Interface\AddOns\myfile.ogg | My Custom Sound
```

If you only provide a short file name, BLU will try these common locations automatically:

- `Interface\AddOns\`
- `Interface\AddOns\sounds\`
- `Interface\AddOns\BLU\`
- `Interface\AddOns\BLU\sounds\`
- `Interface\AddOns\BLU\media\sounds\`

The first compatible `.ogg`, `.mp3`, or `.wav` match gets registered and appears under `User Custom Sounds` in the nested dropdown and in the Sounds tab manager list.
