Is it still possible to macro sound effects to spells?

Hi,
Old returning player. My favorite thing about my Death knight was scripted voices to my spells. (for example, the famous “Soldiers arise, stand and fight” quote from Headless horseman was bound to my Army of the Dead)

None of my old scripts work anymore. Are they still a thing or did they remove them from the game? If they did, does anyone know why?

They changed the way macros access sounds i believe.
Try link below (since I can not add links replace - with a dot)

Spent an hour or so trying to learn it. I tried macros such as:
/script PlaySoundFile(“Sound\creature\DarionMograine\PE_DarionMograine_Farewell01.ogg”)

The game accepts the script but doesn’t play any sounds. Any idea what i’m doing wrong?

You need to use the FileID now, read the linked Wowpedia page

/run PlaySoundFile(546803)
