[captainchaos146]

Read the sticky/rules. Also, make sure you're testing on your own server.

1) Does HLDJ launch the game correctly for you? yes
2) Does "HLDJ Loaded Successfully" appear in console on starting the game (with no errors)?yes
3) What is the console output after selecting a song, or issuing other HLDJ commands such as "hldj_next"?] hldj_next
Loaded: 01ThroughTheFireAndFlames
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_d.cfg

4) After loading one of the sample audio files, perform a search of your Steam directory (without stopping HLDJ) for the file "voice_input.wav" - does it show up, and if so, where? they all worked before
5) Does voice normally work for you? If not, or you do not have a mic, have you remembered to set up any applicable options in your OS and/or the game?yes voice is normal

ive tried in single player all it does is just convert the key that i chose for playing the song f2 in another mic button but has a delay where i can hear myself
is there anything else i need to try ?
the server i used it on online has it enabled but still no joy
thx

Need the answer for #4.
Also, this may be of use in diagnosing: http://hldj.org/manual/tips_tricks.html ... meaudiodir

well the sample didnt work either, loaded fine in console but no sound came out, and when i found the audio directory it was in l4d2 file, not the l4d2 dlc file, so i launched the game using the new audio directory and it doesnt load up hldj at all, it only seems to load when i use the l4d2 dlc config selected from the hldj console but in game it just works as an alternative voice button.
thx

Your post isn't making much sense, please use proper terms and punctuation, especially when talking about the audio directory vs game audio directory.

From what I can make out, your voice_input.wav is showing up in the L4D2 directory when you expect it in the L4D2 dlc directory? If this is the case, try using this "dlc" directory as a game directory (try adding it in HLDJ). If that doesn't work, you can explicitly tell HLDJ where to place the audio file by specifying it as the "alternate game audio directory" in HLDJ's advanced Setup. In order to find the appropriate "game audio directory", revisit the link in my previous post. Find and verify your game audio directory, then specify this directory as per above.

Ok sorry, well basically after the l4d2 update hldj was playing up so i searched for games again in hope of fixing it, instead it found 2 l4d2 games one with dlc and one normal one, the normal one i had the same settings as i had been using before but when i tried to load it with hldj it didnt load hldj at all ( i have the console open when i start the game and it didnt load ) . The dlc game loads hldj in the console but in game the sounds dont play, ive used the correct format sound you suggested and still no joy, when ive attempted to play a sound it bassically converts f2 (the button im using to play sounds into another mic button but with a loop back on sounds)
Ive tried your alternative audio suggestion and set it to where i found the voice input file and ive set it to the main l4d2 file where i found voice input file, the l4d2 game inside the main file. but still the same result.
im wonderign if it would work if hldj managed to load in the l4d2 instead of the l4d2 dlc selection.
thx

If you see "HLDJ Successfully loaded" then the game directory is correct (if not, try finding/adding another game directory that you think might be the correct one). Again read closely the previous link; in finding the correct game audio directory, you are looking for the file "voice_micdata.wav" not voice input; where that file shows up is where you should point your game audio directory to. If it still doesn't work after that then it could just be a problem with the game.

Ok well it loads up on start now, but when i type in the console the number of the song i want it comes back with unknown command.
ive also set the alternate game audio directory in the right place where i found the mic recorded file.
