Probably, yes. Thanks for pointing this out.
After this update, you'll likely need to reconvert your songs to the higher sampling rate, which I believe is 16kHz. We'll know for certain if after this update everyone's audio files start playing back sped-up and high-pitched.

Sadly, it doesn't look like hldj can win here. The SILK voice codec does not support loading a voice from file.

There's a command for reverting back to the old voice system, but it is server side, requires admin access, and the command is set to use SILK by default.

Please tell me this isn't a bad thing.

Just to let everyone know, TF2 is switching to a new voice codec which may allow for better quality micspam. So we may need to find out the specifics on it and adjust hldj's converter accordingly.

I have devised a tutorial to serve as a temporary replacement for HLDJ until this gets cleared up.


Also, I heard somewhere that the codec does not allow playback from a file. If this is correct... then it may get a little complicated rebounding.

HLDJ generally is an interface between the game and itself. So even if audio playback via voice_inputfromfile doesn't work, any other method that involves an external process can be used/automated through HLDJ, whether it be by starting an external program to play audio or integrating a virtual audio device into HLDJ to stream audio files into the game. The system is there, the only question is time and Implementation (ideally would need to re-implement HLDJ).

You guys ARE going to find a workaround, are you?

We'll let the dust settle on this update first. Even as it is now, it only applies to one game.

I think it applies to the games that got updated for instance CSS, HL2DM etc. Since HLDJ suddendly stopped working for me in those games, I tried to reinstall to a newer version without success.
