MCPE-49430"pitch" option in old-format sound_definitions is ignored
Context
There are two ways to write a sound_definitions.json file, both of which are used by vanilla:
- Put all the sound event keys in the root
- Put all the sound event keys in a sound_definitions object, next to a format_version (1.14.0)
The bug
When using the former style, the pitch option in sound event entries is ignored.
How to reproduce
- Download the attached world
- Press the button on the left, then the right
→
Both sound identical
The resource pack contains a single sound_definitions file with pitch specified, so they should sound different.
Expected behavior
Either the pitch should work properly just as it does when using the modern sound definitions format, or the game should alert you with a content log error that the field is being ignored.

Created Issue:
pitch option in sound_definitions is ignored
The bug
The sound_definitions file allows for an option for sound pitch that is used by several vanilla sounds. However, it does not work, and the original pitch from the source sound file is always used. Or at least it's ignored when using /playsound.

Obviously /playsound has its own pitch option, which works fine. However, the sound definitions pitch is still ignored in all other contexts, such as mob sounds or animation sounds.

I'm not sure why I made this since it's literally just MCPE-49430 but phrased in a far less compelling way

Remembered to actually attach the world this time
I can still reproduce this with the test world in 1.16.100.57
Our testers cannot reproduce this in the latest version - could this possibly be an issue with a pack that you are using?
Are the testers using the attached world or a different one? If the latter, I'd be interested to see the setup. Is it hardware-specific? For now I can still reproduce on latest 1.18.10 on Windows 10 and on my android phone.
Minecraft 2022-02-08 11-18-36.mp4
came looking for the same thing, also reproducing when playing sound from animations and playsound, completely ignoring the sound_definitions
Anyone from the future: use "format_version":"1.14.0" and wrap your sounds in a sound_definitions block to fix this.
Affects 1.18.30.32/33
Is this still an issue for you?
Still can reproduce in 1.21.30. Since I have a workaround though, I don't care.
Yes!
