I have an issue with the latest GTAV update, any siren I put in the game, it becomes muted. Anyone able to help?

Can you hear the vehicle horn at all, or is it just the sirens not working? If you are using ELS, make sure your toggle key is not locked. If you cannot hear the sirens or the horn, chances are your vehicle audio file is too large. I think the game has a limit of 15.7 MB and anything over that it will mute certain vehicle sounds. At that point you will need to install a fresh copy of the vehicles.awc file into your mods folder (you can get this from the raw, unmodded game files), and then only install one siren mod. I have never been able to get separate sirens for each department (e.g fire, ambulance) as the file size usually goes over the limit and mutes everything.

@Iceknight i can really recommend one of these packs that replaces some audio files with silent ones. It gives you extra space for another  siren for example. I was able told to add CHP+fbi thanks to this. Sorry for hijacking the thread but it can also be beneficial for the OP. 

 

Ok, so I know that you're not really supposed to post in like really old threads or posts, but I have the same Issue, ALTHOUGH the Sirens stop working after maybe 20 minutes of gameplay. The AI Cars still have Sirens, only the player can't turn them on.

 

Tried the "Solutions" but nothing worked.
