Ambient Music Skipping

CommunistWithAGun

<div class="IPBDescription">Read for more details.</div> Sometimes my ambient music skips in game. Its not a critical problem but I was wondering what causes it lag? My sound card is a sound blaster 512 PCI if that help determine why. I was thinking lag but the songs aren't server side, of course.

I have the same sound card, and mine works fine....Try updating your drivers i suppose. Oh ya, if you want you can turn off the ambient sounds....sometimes. Just type <b>stopsound</b> in your console.

download the windows media play codex pack for mp7, from the ms site, if it dose not fix the errors, open up the files found in the /music folder, and see if they are skiping in your defalt player

if they are try changing players, to say win amp - then see again

other wise do the no sound in console as said above

It skips for me too, but not when I have EAX enabled. If I turn EAX on though, the ambient music doesn't skip, but I get a bunch of echos (like from being dovoured) that dont go away.

i found this out in a custom i made

try doing

1)
Reloading the map, if you playing by your self

2)
use the retry command

i think its something to do with half life its self, becuase this issue is also valid in steam mp3, as well as the fmod won mp3 fix
