Main Menu Music Not Playing?
Hey. My main menu music isn't playing. In fact, it hasn't been for years. I just recently felt like fixing it but I have no idea how. I'm not an idiot and I turned up max volume and max music settings. I uninstalled every mod I have and verified the game cache. I checked the actual audio files using GCFscape and they're all just in there sittin' pretty, not playing at all. Is there anything else I can do to try and fix this problem?

Well. I'm no expert but there is a small chance that you may just be unlucky. There is a small chance for the main menu to just not play music.

Wait a minute, I found this error in my console shortly after restarting my game: "0.000001 BlockingGetDataPointer: Async I/O Force ui\gamestartup21.mp3 ( 89.68 msec / 34.73 msec total )"
Does anyone know what this means?

That means disk latency is to high and the main thread had to block on unavailable sound chunks. When it prints it means you had a stutter

Any way I can prevent this?

Im unsure. From what I found. It looks like it may be a computer hardware issue

I FINALLY DISCOVERED WHY (For me at least)

In the cfg file, there is a thing called Autoexec, there, I removed a line saying "map_background itemtest; wait 10; disconnect" (For you can be 5 or another one, but for me was 10)

When I removed it, it started working!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because you have the command to load a map then quit for 5 seconds in your autoexec

I know I'm more than three years late but I need to ask, when you experienced this issue with missing main menu music, did you also experience the classes and Administrator having no voice audio? Because I'm currently experiencing both those problems and I'd really like help in fixing them.
