Question

Wrong chime sound plays (sheep sound) when a file finishes outputs successfully.

Since updating to the 22 version of AME, when a file finshes rendering it plays the sheep sound, and not the finished chime. These file are finished successfuly, but it plays the sound for a failed render each time. Is anyone else having this problem?

    This issue is fixed in v22.3 of Adobe Media Encoder, which is rolling out to customers this week.

        I was getting this problem, and so annoying. 

        Using AME v 22.1.1.

        Today I tried:

        1. Disable the "Play chime when finished encoding"
        2. Exit AME
        3. Load AME again
        4. Enable the "Play chime when finished encoding" checkbox.

        Now it works!

        Plays the chime, not the sheep.. Whew.

        Didn't work for me. I'm still having this issue on 22.2 (Build 64).

        Hi everyone!

        First, my apologies for not having seen this thread earlier! I was getting emails about this issue but mistook them for a thread on our UserVoice forum. 

        We are aware of this issue, know what causes it, and it will be fixed in the next release of Media Encoder. 

        Regards,

        Fergus

          Thank you. Getting the goat is anxiety-inducing for anyone using AE/AME for any length of time! I can confirm that my AE-to-AME renders reproduce the issue.

            Honestly, I don't think Adobe really cares. They have made no attempt to address this. I'm sure their mindset is, "if it's still rendering, so what if it makes the wrong sound".

            Fully updated and this is still happening for me when exporting from AE.

             

            I have to say, I'm not fond of any bug, but this one will make me insane if it continues. I have a Pavlovian response to that ^#*$(%! sheep sound, and this is gonna give me a nervous breakdown some night when I'm on a deadline.

              This happens for me, but only specifically when I export to AME from AE, then any exports after that do the sheep sound. If If I restart AME and just do normal renders from Premiere or directly imported, it plays the chime as expected. Really bizarre.

                Confirming that this is happening to me as well.  Any luck on how to fix it yet?

                  So, updating to 22.1.1 seems to have fixed the problem for me.

                  Hi @Shivangi_Gupta and group,

                   

                  Even with the up-to-date ME, I'm still experiencing the billy goat sound for a successful render. Any ideas?

                   

                  The only thing in my set up that may be related is that I have an After Effects extension/plugin called BGRenderer Max that may change render settings. Although that's in AE and not ME. And the problem is in ME. (After Effects render queue plays a chime for success and a billy goat for failure).

                   

                  I have also checked the actual "rnd_fail.wav" and "rnd_okay.wav" files in the programs folder of both AE and ME and they seem correct.

                   

                  Any ideas? Thanks!
