Hello. I'm new. And, as the title states, am I the only one who can't hear sound in my maps? I can't hear sound in ANY user-map. And after I play one, I can't hear any sounds for the mod(Usually just HL.). Can someone help?

Do you have speakers?

No offense, but har har. Of course I do. I can't hear any sounds. Nothing. Pardon the oxymoron, but it is deafening silence.

Are they plugged in? Turned on? Do you have the sound option set correctly in Half-Life's options menu? Do the speakers play other sounds?
These questions will help us specify the problem.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I am using a laptop, so the first two questions are a given. Of course, you didn't know that. Anyways, it is extremely frustrating. Especially because I can't hear the scream of another player's death when they find themselves being devoured by snarks.

Maybe Half-Life is not compatable with your speakers? Has it worked before and just recently stoped working?

Yes. It only ceases to work after I play a user made map.

I meant no, and sorry about the double-post. (Although people here may not care.)

I am running out of ideas on how to help, because I don't have a laptop and have not played Half-Life since Half-Life 2 came out.

No need to say sorry for double post in this thread, it seems it is just me talking to you.

Yep. To anyone who happens to be browsing this, has this ever happened to you?

Might be an issue with your card (ie, integrated sound.) Get the latest drivers?

Why don't you post the map in the problem maps category of the map vault so we can see if it works on our computer, and if you meant that any map (including single player maps) do not work with sound, then try reinstalling. That is about everything I can think of. Please post a link here to your map if you post it in the vault.

That isn't it. It isn't a hardware/software-for-hardware problem. Why? Because if I play, say, snark_pit for example, and I shoot a crossbow, I hear the firing and explosion. Then, I load a custom map, fire a crossbow. Silent. Go back to snark_pit. Fire a crossbow. Silent. And it stays silent until I restart HL.

Is your map file corrupted, but not enough to not work (if there is such a thing).

Nope. I can make a brand-new empty room, cheat, and the same thing will happen. Silence. I'm going deaf from not hearing anything.

the soundcard for my laptop sucked so i got a USB soundcard to replace it. works way better and includes hardware support so the sounds are better.

Very strange. Is it with any custom map at all, not just those with sounds?
Hrny: not that helpful.

Now, it's not a custom sound question. ANY usermap. If anyone doesn't understand what I am asking(NOT why this is happening), please don't post.

I hear what you're saying. 
(Sorry) It is a strange problem. There may be a clue in the console after you start up a custom map. After you've loaded a custom map hit the ~ key and see if the messages there lead you to where the problem might be. Another thing that might help is to play the custom map with 'developer 2' typed into the console. That gives you lots of in-game information. Good luck with this.

did you acidently pressed the ''did you hear the sound'' question while installing Half life...

Hm. Is this Steam Half-Life? Just that the only thing I can think of which might differ is the location of the .BSP (filesystem vs. GCF).

I figured it out. Now, I know this sounds dumb... but...
My config.cfg automatically set the sound volume to 0. Greeeeeeeeaaaat. So... I got it now.
