Sound cuts off at ~11 seconds

[CptFalcon]

I love your program, it's great for playing short sounds, but I do have a problem.
Whenever I try to play a sound clip that's long, ex. a song, It cuts off around 10-12 seconds through.
This is REALLY annoying and I'm tempted to install HLSS just for those longer sound clips.

The sound file is the correct format, as it still plays, but it cuts off.
Help would greatly be appreciated.

*note: moved to help - not a bug

Most likely a sound conversion problem, are you using Audacity?

I do use audacity for some editing, but I use MS Sound Recorder for setting the format.
The format is: PCM 11.025 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono.
All my sounds are that format, and they work fine. However, all the sounds that are long enough still get cut off.

I also found another bug, after a while, HL DJ takes over my mic, so whenever I press the talk button it plays the loaded sound.
I end up having to quit the game, shut down HL DJ and restart it.

Have you tried playing long sounds and it works for you? Because it might not be on my end.

Well then you've found the problem. Use Audacity.

The latter problem can occur on activating playback during map changes etc; the voice variables may not get a chance to reset, if this occurs, just tap or double tap your play key until normal mic mode has returned.

I guess I can try to figure out how to set the format with Audacity. Whenever I try changing it the sound get's slowed down or sped up, depending on how I changed it, but I guess that's for another forum...
I don't understand how MS Sound Recorder could be faulty. I use that for creating sounds to be used in game, and I have to change the format and it has always worked.

Thanks, sometimes my sound does get cut off by a map change. I can't believe I never noticed the connection.
And I'll give tapping the playaudio key a try.
Thanks so much!!

Dude thank you so much, it worked just fine.
I haven't tested the sound getting cut off by a map change to try the fix you suggested, but I'll keep it in mind.

Looks like I won't have to put up with HLSS's lack of a menu after all! thanks for being so helpful.
