I have created a XAP file using the version of XACT that ships with XNA 2.

In it are two wav files , FOOTBALLKICK.wav and cheer_8k.wav

I have two sounds attached to them called "kick" and "cheer".

In the XAP file they both appear like this.

Sound
    {
        Name = kick;
        Volume = -1200;
        Pitch = 0;
        Priority = 0;

........

Sound
    {
        Name = cheer;
        Volume = -1200;
        Pitch = 0;
        Priority = 0;

.....

I have created my sound and wav banks with no problems, but when I try to play a clip with

I get an invalid operation exception, "are you sure the cue name is correct

The cue names do not seem to be stored in the soundbank anywhere, I can see two objects with keys that are ints, but no stringss so I can't look for what the soundbank is expecting

Stuck

Any ideas?

okay sorted it, for some reason xact had only created one cue although I added two sounds.

can anyone tell me if XACT is going to be improved?

I now we have the new sound api coming with xna 3 but is xact going to be improved as well?

it really is very poor when you compare it with the quality of the rest of the tool chain in XNA.
