First of all, be sure to type 'la' in console and select a song before attempting to play. Also what do you mean by Mic recording of your tv? Is your HLDJ button the same as your talk button?

i dont even hear the music playing..just the feedback screech due to the mic recording my headset sounds from counter strike or whatever my environment is..

• do you see "HLDJ loaded successfully" in console on start up?
• have you tested with the sample wav from the sticky and on a local server you've created?
• after loading a song, ensure that the file "voice_input.wav" exists in your "steamapps\username\counter-strike source" directory

if it doesn't, verify your game directory is set correctly (for CSS, "steamapps\username\counter-strike source\cstrike")

I trust you figured out what was wrong with the audio conversion?

Also, it appears HLDJ was loaded with 1 error, which means it had problems creating a certain file. This can be caused if some of the HLDJ files could not be cleaned up from a previous run. Check your game directory and the "cfg" folder within it and clear it of any HLDJ files (prefixed with "hldj_") before starting HLDJ again.
