HLDJ Loads, but doesn't play

[Hoodoo]

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_d.cfg
Loaded : Don ' t Stop Me Now

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?
It does show up
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\XXXXXXXXX\team fortress 2

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:
Code: Select all
voice_inputfromfile 1; voice_loopback 1; voice_forcemicrecord 0; voice_modenable 1; voice_enable 1; +voicerecord

Does the audio file start to play?
Nope

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? *
It has always worked before and I can still hear my voice through my mic

I should mention that I made my own bot server and it seemed to work by typing sv_use_steam_voice 0 but I can't hear it on any other servers, including ones that are micspam-friendly

everything appears fine. play on servers that are properly configured for HLDJ.
