I have an ambient_Generic set up in the blue and red respawn, and it's targeting

Play > misc/song2.wav
no tigger name
not looped
does not start silent

Therefore it should start at the beginning... It doesn't. I tried giving it a name and then a trigger_once trigger for when the first person to join the games starts the song. Still didn't work

I used the console and did
play misc/song2.wav
and the song played. So whaddafx up?

check these things:

1) make sure your path directories are seperated with "/" not ""

2) make sure you don't have the "c:...blah" part in your directly. All of your sounds START from the "...cstrike/sounds/" folder

3) make sure you have the ".wav" extension at the end of your sound paths

4) make sure your sounds have START and/or END cues (need to insert them with an audio editing program, IF it's looping)

All 4 of those are affirmative, noobish.

The .wav is 1150kz 8bit mono. Like I said, it plays ingame when I have the console make it play, but not through the ambient_generic

You're wrong, it can play any sound in the the sound/ folder.

Where is your "misc" folder? Is it a subfolder of the Half-Life/hl/sound folder? I believe your sound needs to be in the sound folder somewhere.

EDIT: Oops.. sorry.. wrong game. That's HL2. Nevermind.

Check the 'start volume' is and 'volume' fields are both set to the same amount.

Also make sure that "Play everywhere" is checked in the flags

Sorry for the LATE reply...
By any chance, is this supposed to play ONLY once?

I'm having the same problem, but I forgot how to fix the problem...
Try checking the "do NOT loop" box (make it loop), and it should play.

How do you get it to play without looping, like I said, I forgot, but I did have it working once.....
