Playsound with no sound!?!

[BlackSanta]

Hi! I was using ULX's playsound command (i have the sounds placed in the right folder, AND they have been downloaded by clients) but when i played the sound, it popped up in global chat "Black Santa played America.mp3" BUT, no noise. At all. I know i have everything in the right place, as 2 other sound files HAVE been download, and they work. If anyone could help me, i would greatly appreciate it! Also if you need any other info to help me, such as what my directories look like or something, just ask!

Generally this would indicate that the clients didn't properly download it (if you can run the command, the server definitely has it). Try setting sv_cheats to 1 and running the following on your client console:

Code: [Select]

lua_run_cl print( file.Exists( "sound/<my sound file>", "GAME" ) )

If it says "false", the client doesn't have the sound file.

I ran that command you gave me, and it said true. But still, no sound. It says it plays, but we no one can hear it. Got any other ideas i can take a whack at?

Is it possible the Source engine just doesn't like that particular mp3 for some reason? Try repeating the procedure with some other generic, small mp3.
