*** Invalid sample rate (0) for sound 'vo\null.mp3'.

[So2ro]

Gets somewhat spammed in console on community servers and causes lagspikes (unsure)
It was noticed in the github for tf2's 64bit testing and yet it wasnt fixed
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/5502
Is there any way on my end to make it stop spamming that and hopefully fix the lagspike

I get the error when I use the command play vo\null.mp3 but once I added an empty 1 second mp3 file named null.mp3 in the tf\custom\My_Custom_Stuff\vo and restart the game. The error does not happen

Also noticed this, and am getting microstutters since the latest update, might be related

Unsure how you did this but i tried to do the same and even created a path for the My_Custom_Stuff which doesnt exist for my game and it doesnt work
Even tried placing the file in a tf\download\sound\vo path i have and it also doesnt work
Granted im testing it by doing the play command which im not sure is the same thing happening in game

I created an empty sound in Audacity then exported it as null.mp3 with a 44100hz sample rate then placed it at tf\custom\My_Custom_Stuff\sound\vo. The download folder can't override the game's vpk files except the content in the maps

Turns out i forgot to create a vo folder and place the null.mp3 inside of it, placing it in sounds instead like a fool
The fix works now
