Sound File Is Missing (?)

[Wangon]

I have problem, when i try to play sound by activating it with button (ambient_generic) nothing playing and in console i have this [Sound] S_StartSound(): Failed to load sound 'forestsounds.wav'. File is missing from disk/repository. When i preview it in hammer everything is fine :/

Try to delete the cache file in sound folders (game folder and custom_stuff folder, if present). It usually fix the problem.

I deleted sound.cache and it didn't helped. Still this same error in console :(

Is it a default sound from the game ? Or something custom ?

In the ambient generic path, did you use the Sound Browser to find your sound ? If you only took the sound name, and added it, that's probably why it doesn't work.

Any sound should be located in <root>/sound/aSubFolder/
(You could put it in any subfolder, or even directly in sound (but that's not clean))

The path in the ambient generic would then be:
aSubFolder/name_of_your_sound.wav

By the way, all .wav sound can be previewed in Hammer. If you cannot, that mean it's not the good path. So fix it.

Custom, path is wangon/forestsounds.wav (wangon folder is in sounds). I can preview and play it in hammer. I using sound browser.

Are you sure you deleted all the soundcache files? In custom folder and in game folder?

[Wangon]

I didn't had any soundcache in custom folder, and in sound folder i had only one

Which hammer are you using ?
The wav is located in your game folder or another folder ?

[Wangon]

Wav file is located in sounds/wangon but i tryed just in sounds too. i using hammer for CS:GO

[Moltard]

sound or sounds ?

because sounds is not a valid folder
all games use sound

[Wangon]

D:\Gry\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\sound\wangon Here is File

[Moltard]

your csgo SDK is installed in the same drive as your game ?

try snd_rebuildaudiocache in csgo console.

[Wangon]

Yea why not? I will try it tommorow and i will say if it worked.

[Wangon]

Thanks, it helped :D
