Sounds are distorted/corrupted and extremely slow!

Post by CardBored »

I've been using HLDJ for a looong time now, and I've had no real problems with it. But I recently got a new computer, an Asus laptop with Windows 7 ( Premium 64-bit) and I've tried installing both 32-bit and 64-bit latest versions of HLDJ, both are having the same problem. The sound is extremely distorted and slow, both my songs and the samples downloaded from the site. I know it is not a problem with my game directories because I've used HLDJ before ( Ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\************\team fortress 2). My voice input does appear in the tf2 directory when I load a song, but when I play the song in game, it sounds extremely distorted. But if I play the song through the directory ( via windows media player or other) the song sounds normal. Also, I have made sure multiple times that all songs/sounds I use are in the HLDJ format for source games, so thats not the problem. When I try to plug in a microphone to my laptop ( because others have claimed this solves the problem) HLDJ just uses the sounds coming from the mic, like my voice, instead of the sound file. And when I start up the game, it DOES say in the console that HLDJ was loaded successfully and so do the songs. Also whenever I try to play a song, my voice from my microphone is played and not the song from the file.

Yes my mic normally works for me and I have tried the "voice_inputfromfile 1; voice_loopback 1; voice_forcemicrecord 0; voice_modenable 1; voice_enable 1; +voicerecord" method and that doesn't work.

Anyone have any solutions???? This is driving me crazy. I don't know if this makes a difference, but my new computer is an Asus LAPTOP, unlike my last computer. With my last computer, I had to use Regedit to edit binaries and such to make HLDJ function properly. I found the way to do this through these forums somewhere, but I just do not remember where. If anyone has a solution to this problem it would be deeply appreciated. :D

im getting the same thing.


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_f.cfg
Loaded: sound.wav
4-a) 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?
one up from my cstrike directory
4-b) If it exists, open it in an audio player: does it sound like the audio file you loaded?
yes
5) Does voice normally work for you?
yep.


it plays but it play it very slow...
