Client-Side

Sound Effects (SFX)

If your monster holds any special sound effects, not original from the default
library, note that to be played properly by the client it must:

Generated, recorded or converted to WAV.
Be set in a bit rate no superior than 352kbps.

The safest way found to achieve perfect use of the SFX by the client is
converting any file using Audacity or
similar audio editors. Converting the file on popular all-media converters,
such as FormatFactory at
default settings will result in a high bit rate, and although it can be played
normally by other software, the client is incompatible with it.

For uncompressed formats, such as WAV, the bit-rate (number of binary digits
per second) can be calculated from the "sample rate", "sample format" and
"number of audio channels".

Converting on Audacity

Open or Import desired audio file (such as OGG).
Select 'Export As' on 'File' menu and save it as WAV.
Right-click the exported file, check the 'Details' tab bit rate, if it's not above 352 kbps it should work.

Converting on FormatFactory

Import or drag the desired audio file to the window.
Select 'Audio' then 'WAV' and, before clicking 'Ok', hit 'Settings'.
Change 'Sample Rate' to 22050 and set 'Audio Channel' to 1, hit 'Ok' and click 'Start'.
Right-click the exported file, check the 'Details' tab bit rate, if it's not above 352 kbps it should work.
