    • Sound - Play JIHADI501 <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Triggering unit)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Triggering unit)) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\NeutralBuildingExplosion\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

The trigger is as simple as that, but for some reason the 3d sound doesn't get played. The minimal distance for the sound is 600, and max is 10000.

You mean if you cast it three times the first two times the sound plays but not the third time? What about after the third time?

I mean, it used to work always as 2d waw sound before making it a 3d mp3 sound, as in dimensions. Is there something different I should be doing since it now is a 3d sound?

Oh oops, missed the d in 3d. Does it have the 3d sound flag checked in the sound editor? I believe sounds also don't play the very first time you try so it could just be that (needs to preload the sound). Try doing it more than once to see if the sound plays afterward. Also your camera has to be over the 3d sound point (or within range).

3d sound flag has been checked, I also added a time elapsed of 1 second that would play all the 3d sounds used, but still doesn't work.

Alright, got it working. Looks like custom 3d sounds need to be mono, not stereo.
