Cannot get Music to play ingame

[chambers805]

hey im running windows xp, with soundblaster x-fi extreme music sound card, i have net framework installed fully updated windows xp 32bit pro OS, when i get ingame all i hear is the feedback from my mic when i press "end" to toggle the music, but no music, just my tv sound from my mic recording, any help?

First of all, be sure to type 'la' in console and select a song before attempting to play. Also what do you mean by Mic recording of your tv? Is your HLDJ button the same as your talk button?

no i type la in consol i select the song..and when i press "end" my binded button, all i hear is this feedback screech from my mic....i fallowed directions perfectly, all my music is setup in the right quality just for some reason it doesnt play the sound in my game...i have a soundblaster x-fi xtreme music soundcard. on windows xp pro 32-bit.

i dont even hear the music playing..just the feedback screech due to the mic recording my headset sounds from counter strike or whatever my environment is..

• do you see "HLDJ loaded successfully" in console on start up?
• have you tested with the sample wav from the sticky and on a local server you've created?
• after loading a song, ensure that the file "voice_input.wav" exists in your "steamapps\username\counter-strike source" directory

if it doesn't, verify your game directory is set correctly (for CSS, "steamapps\username\counter-strike source\cstrike")

I trust you figured out what was wrong with the audio conversion?

Also, it appears HLDJ was loaded with 1 error, which means it had problems creating a certain file. This can be caused if some of the HLDJ files could not be cleaned up from a previous run. Check your game directory and the "cfg" folder within it and clear it of any HLDJ files (prefixed with "hldj_") before starting HLDJ again.
