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 : Locomotive Breath


4) Create your own local server and set the appropriate sv_ commands (see above), then:
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?

C:/ProgramFiles/Steam/steamapps/name/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: " " Does the audio file start to play? No

5) Does voice normally work for you? Yes

It makes no sense. I should be able to bring music to the masses, but can't. This is my own server with "sv_allow_voice_from_file 1" and "sv_use_steam_voice 0" entered into console....

Music converted to .wav format using Audacity. mono @ 11025 hz.

I then tried another track that I converted using hldj's built in audio converter....
WORKS LIKE A FUCKING CHARM..... not. It does work, but the sound quality is awful!


So, clearly there is something wrong with the conversion using Audacity. What am I doing wrong?

make sure to remove any metadata/id3 tags from the file during the conversion process.
