Sorry for the repeated questions, I hope it doesn't count as spam and that this will be the last issue for a while. I have a very specific issue, tried to resolve it for a long while, but none of the potential fixes I found or tried worked.
The sound that plays when blocking an animal attack /specifically a wolf) with a shield is missing. Blocking with a weapon or blocking humanoid enemies works fine, but the shield block thump against animals does not.
I tried deinstalling all audio mods, all related patches, everything that could somehow relate to combat, blocking, and sounds - it is still missing. I tried a new game, same issue. I tried mods that add loud shield block noises to confirm the sound isn't actualy very quiet or silent - nothin'.
At this point I think it's a weird vanilla bug, not actually correlated with this guide. I was wondering if anyone has heard of a fix or could at least try getting attacked by a wolf to see if that freaking sound even exists?
