CSS voice_imput.wav Not Playing Ingame.

Post by Forgotten »

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"? Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_b.cfg
Loaded : Filename.wav

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? counter-strike source
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 operating system and/or the game? * Yes

The sound are being converted properly, I've tested this by sending a sound I converted to a friend who HLDJ works correctly and them sending me a sound that they have converted. My sound works fine on their HLDJ, however theirs does not work on mine.

The sound is being properly cached in the voice_input.wav, however when ingame it does not play. The command sv_allow_voice_from_file is set to 1. I've attempted to trouble shoot the problem by reinstalling from latest release to the stable release, with no luck. Both CSS and HLDJ are being ran as administrator.
I have also without using HLDJ at all, copied a audio file to my location of voice_input.wav, and renamed it to "voice_input.wav". While in-game, enterered into console:

Code: Select all

voice_modenable 1; voice_forcemicrecord 0; voice_inputfromfile 1; voice_loopback 1; +voicerecord
to no avail, the end result being complete silence as the output into game.[/color]

And you are testing on your own local server, with the sample audio files listed on the downloads page? If that fails, try re-installing the game.
Also note whether a talking/voice indicator appears while you are attempting to play the audio file; this would indicate if the game is at least trying to play the audio file.

I had been testing on my own local server (Allow voice set to 1) aswell as online servers, and yes the voice display icon was being active during attempts to play a sound. However I reinstalled CSS no to avail, then I completely uninstall and reinstalled steam and CSS. This resulted in local server tests failing, but online servers to play correctly. I'm not entirely sure what the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.
