No sound in TF2

[Dryck]

hi !

First , Sorry for my english but i'm french =)

I try to use HLDJ in TF2 but i have some problem =(

i correctly setup the software, and it automatically detect my game.


Ifor the directory of my TF2 game i have

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\account\team fortress 2\tf

the engine is source =) and i bind F1 touch to run sound.

when i load the game in the console i have hldj load succesfully !

i can choose my sound with the "la" command but when i try to run the sound , i can see the icone of the microphone but i can't hear anything.

I try to put a "voice_input.wav" in the folder

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\account\team fortress 2\

and then hldj play the sound correctly

I readed on this forum than i must use alternative game audio directory but when i try to put this way
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\account\team fortress 2\

and when i check "ok" the way was cleared and if i try to run the game again i have stille the same probleme


( i use HLDJ 1. 4.6 with XP)

Someone could help me please? =)

TF2 is an official Steam mod (not 3rd-party) so HLDJ will find the correct directory automatically (the path you mentioned above is the same that HLDJ will use, so the alternate path setting will be ignored in this case).

Are there any error/unusual messages displayed in the console after loading a song? If not try this:
1) Open your Steam directory and do a search for "voice_input.wav"
2) Delete all results
3) Start HLDJ/TF2 and load an audio file (make sure no errors were displayed on start-up, or while loading a song)
4) perform step #1 again
5) if "voice_input.wav' is found, what is its location?
if nothing was found in #5, make sure HLDJ is still running in the background. Also make sure your audio files are in not in an obscure location (i.e. network folders, removable drives, etc may not work so well).

Hi, I have the same problem Dryck had.

I did all those steps.... the voice_imput I found the second time after doing from step #1 to #4 is in steamapps/my account/team fortress 2/
I can't hear anything, all troubles started when I reinstalled TF2 (but I really had to because it kept freezing after 5 minutes of gameplay)
The Audio folder isn't empty, I have all my CORRECTLY CONVERTED .WAV FILES, converted following the guide perfectly.

Before I could play without problems, but now all I hear when I press my DEL button (the button I selected for play/stop the audio in HLDJ) are the game sounds echoed unlimited times (but this echo disappears if I disable my Stereo Mix from the Windows audio configuration).

I also tried to setup all HLDJ again from beginning but nothing, please help me, TF2 surfing servers are so boring without good music and jokes

Sounds like HLDJ ir working fine, try running it on your own server.

[Elia1995]

Nevermind, I got it to work downloading the version 1.5.0 !!!!

I don't know why but now works perfectly (even if sometimes doesn't work but I type in console:

exec hldj_init and then
hldj_restart

and works)

Thanks anyway, hoping not, when I'll have some problems I'll ask instead doing like I did on my poor HLDJ, making more troubles lol

I'd double check your autoexec.cfg isn't marked read-only, it seems HLDJ is having problems writing to it, or the game reading from it.

[Elia1995]

Do I have to make it read-only?
I just saw it.... the read-only box isn't marked.

No. If everything's working fine, HLDJ will append "exec hldj_init.cfg" to your autoexec when a game is started, then the game should read this line and exec hldj_init.cfg for you. So if this isn't happening it's either a problem with the autoexec (you can verify its contents after starting a game in HLDJ) or the game simply refuses to read the autoexec config (in which case you should re-install).
