Sound just repeats in-game sounds

Post by pancakeman »

Hi,

I converted a song for use in HLDJ: 16bit, 11025Hz, Mono. But still, I get this strange problem where all I'm getting when I press DEL to play my song is a muffled, laggy noise of what was last done in the game. I'm playing Left 4 Dead 2. For example, I press DEl and just before Ellis has said sometinhg, instead of my song, it will play a muffled and laggy version of what last audio was played, in this case Ellis' voice.

Just to make sure I wasn't converting the song wrong or something along those lines, I downloaded the sample for Source games and I played it; Same problem. I've tried playing in servers online and I still get the same problem. So, can anyone help? I seriosuly have no idea what to do now.

Thanks for any help in advance :)

Are you seeing "HLDJ Loaded Successfully" in console (without errors)?
After you load a song, alt+tab and open your Steam folder, perform a search for "voice_input.wav", does it show up? where?
(it should be something like "steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\l4d2").

If the above doesn't happen, check your game directories, otherwise it may be that your mic/input options are not configured correctly, can you use it normally in game?

Yep, HLDJ is loading correctly with no errors. I looked for the .wav file you mentioned in the "left4dead2" folder but nothing was found. I don't think it's my mic settings since I have tried HLSS and it seems to work, but thid doesn't?

what did the search yield?
I haven't tested HLDJ in L4D2, but others have confirmed it works as per every other game - have you tested HLDJ in another game?

Ic ouldn;t find the .wav file as I was searching. Also, HLDJ has the same problem in other games aswell.

Probably an indication that something's amiss. Post your console output after selecting a song and/or performing various other HLDJ commands in console.
Also make sure you're using the latest version of HLDJ, and try running it as administrator. Also make sure to test on your own server.
