Won't play any sound :(

Post by Antonis3d »

Ok so im pretty damn sure i'm doing everything right and i get absolutely no errors when hlds successfully loads the game but i still can't get it to work in any server. Keep in mind that i don't have a mic and i use Windows 7.

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_cmd_b.cfg successfully created!
"=" = "Loaded--01_Sweat_[David_Guetta_Radio_Edit

4) After creating your own local server and enabling playing of audio files: How do i enable the sound in my local server?
4-a) Load one of the sample audio files and perform a search of your Steam directory (without stopping HLDJ) for the file "voice_input.wav" - does it show up, and if so, where? Yes it does show in, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\xxx\counter-strike\cstrike
4-b) If it exists, open it in an audio player: does it sound like the audio file you loaded? YES
4-c) If it exists, return to the game, and enter the following into console:
voice_inputfromfile 1; voice_loopback 1; voice_forcemicrecord 0; voice_modenable 1; voice_enable 1; +voicerecord
Does the audio file start to play? NO
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? * Mic is enabled IN-GAME and in windows 7 microphone is enabled but it is not plugged in since i don't have one.

Also i tried the given sounds from the download section of the site and it still doesn't work.

If 4-c doesn't work, normally it means microphone input is not enabled, however if I recall correctly that's not necessary for the older goldsrc engine games. Make sure you are testing on your own server, if it still persists try re-installing the game.

I plugged-in an old microphone and everything works just fine now, weird since i had the microphone enabled in windows 7 settings. Anyways thanks for the help!
