HLDJ problem, no music just echo of mic.

Post by Cr0ok3d »

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"?
] 3
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_b.cfg
Loaded : Al Bizzare - Fire Breazze ( Original Mix )

4) After creating your own local server and enabling playing of audio files:
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, .../steamapps/********/counter-strike source

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, I still just get an echo of my mic

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

HLDJ was working fine using sample audio clips straight from the hldj site, then i downloaded some mp3s and converted them in Audacity, Loaded track, Set project rate to 11250 or whatever then split stereo track then set 1 of them to mono then deleted the other, then set the Sample format to 16-bit PCM. Exported it as a WAV file and stored it in my folder where HLDJ grabs the files from. Like said above it boots fine and loads the song fine, and the voice input.wav in my steam directory sounds like the sound i loaded but when i press F1, (my key) it just gives me an echo of my voice. Oh and just last night i was testing the samples on 1 of my servers so i know its NOT serverside. But whats really weird is after i converted those mp3s and stored them in the same folder as the samples i had downloaded, the samples wouldnt work now either. Might just uninstall hldj and delete all my converted files, so far i havent seen a solution so this seems pointless, ALL WELL! :D

If the samples work, then the server is fine and you should re-read the conversion tutorial in the manual making sure you're doing it correctly (also take care to remove any ID3 tag data during the export process), or use the built-in converter then edit the wav in Audacity.
If the samples do not work, then most likely the server you are on is not configured correctly, see the sticky on how to configure it correctly.
