HLDJ seems to work, but nothing will play

[Dinghies]

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_e.cfg
Loaded : 11h30 ( Original Mix )
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 shows up in the folder labeled "team fortress 2".
4-b) If it exists, open it in an audio player: does it sound like the audio file you loaded?
Yep.
4-c) If it exists, return to the game, and enter the following into console. 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? *
I don't have a mic, but when I tried using my friend's that he brought over, it didn't work.


I'm almost entirely sure this is a problem with my sound/mic settings, but I don't know how to fix it. I disabled my computer's built-in mic in the Control Panel and after that didn't work I had no idea what else to try.

First, a make sure to test with a sample song to eliminate conversion errors. Next, try re-enabling whatever mic you have (friends, built-in, etc) so that the game recognizes you have a mic and enables voice-comm. Failing that you might have to poke around in Sound -> Recording options to figure out if you can manually enable your microphone device.
