i downloaded the stable copy of HLDJ and got it all working and i converted a song through it but when i open up the game through it i use the LA command then 3 to choose that song but when i select \ (my play key) nothing happens, its the same if i use HLDJ_playaudio
im not sure whats wrong as in the console it says loaded "that song" and it doesn't show anything as being wrong.
thank you
P.S. if you need any more information just ask

I have a very similar problem, maybe the same. I downloaded 1.0.0a7 and 1.6.0a10 separately and had the same issues with both: If I start the game (L4D2, through hldj successfully) and enter a map without doing anything people can hear me on my mic like normal. Then if I open the console, select a song ("la", song number, enter, says the song is selected or ready or whatever) and try to play it with my start/stop key I just hear my own voice echoing back at me with about a 1 second delay. No one can hear any music. If I select a song outside of the map, in the game's main menu, then it plays immediately upon entering a map without the command. If I try to turn it off It only mutes the song for me, everyone else still hears it fine. When I select another song, try to start it and/or enter "hldjn" and print the new song's name to the chat log it comes up as that new song selected but the first one keeps playing. I can't stop the song, change it, play another instead, or even select one to follow - That is the first problem. Echoing back to myself and no music at all is the second problem.
All of the files I am trying to play have been converted through hldj. Amongst the page of text in the console when first starting L4D2 is "HLDJ Loaded Successfully". After selecting a song it says "Loaded: (whatever the song is)"
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)?
Sure does, halfway through a mess of other stuff that is typical on start-up.
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_b.cfg
Loaded : Alice In Chains - Dam That River
] hldjn
Loaded: Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_c.cfg
4) After loading one of the sample audio files, perform a search of your Steam directory (without stopping HLDJ) for the file "voice_input.wav" - does it show up, and if so, where?
When I click the sample audio clips they all play from my Windows Media Player and no such thing as "voice_input" is found anywhere on my computer - as far as I can tell.
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, voice has always worked well.
Update: Problem persists but I am now wondering if the "voice_loopback" command I used to use months ago for game recording in source could be partly to blame? Is there a way to cancel it or restore defaults? I have used "voice_reset_mutelist" with no effect. I even recorded myself running around yelling and announcing when I was hitting the key selected to start and stop songs. When I watched the replay starting the song produced silence on the mic then stopping it allowed me to hear my own gibberish from moments before like the button (F1 which I haven't bound to anything) was toggling "voice_loopback". I changed the start/stop key to "-" and got the same results.
