I could never get it to work. Does it always work to obtain souls through the command or is it safer to obtain souls directly from the dragons. I understand, through other folks who use console commands a lot, that sometimes it can break your game, or corrupt your saves,if used too aggressively. I don't know what the cut off is for too aggressively. So it's safer to get them from dragons I would guess. Did you type in ForceAv (number)  dragonsouls? If you did it right, you will get the sound effect, etc. I imagine if you add too many, it would be unwise.
