Generic Inventory Sound Fix

Ever since release I was annoyed by the fact that looting gold, clothes, weapons, ammo, potions and many other items all made the same generic swish sound instead of more appropriate noises like clinking noises for gold pickup, metallic noises for weapons, bottle/glassy noise for potions etc... Unless you picked up multiple of the same item type which often doesn't happen when looting corpses or containers since many items, particularly gold are looted as one lump meaning almost everything has the same generic noise when looted.

The best way to demonstrate the problem is to find some loose gold on a table and notice that the first gold piece picked up makes the generic swish noise while the rest make the proper gold clinking noise.

I made this little fix that lowers the priority of the sound descriptors for the generic sounds. This means that picking up gold will always sound like you are looting gold, weapons sound like weapons... well you get the idea.

Some items do use the generic sounds by default like gems, firewood, soul gems and other misc items so those are unchanged.
For a mod with sounds for these items as well, try this mod by lazyskeever http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49084/?
