Thread: TF2 Hit Sounds stop working; Sound Drops

Anyone enalbed hit sounds and find they don't work if you start the game off the server list? I have to start TF2, THEN JOIN from the server list. Then, sometimes when the maps switch, my hit sound is lost and other sounds (eg., heavy spinning up)) are missing.

I'm using x-fi gamer, latest drivers, win7; seems like a problem with the game rather than my system. I use a custom hit sound but that shouldn't make a difference. I keep my sound file in the ui folder.

Thoughts?

Turn them off?

Thats about all I got... haha

This is a known problem and there's no real solution unless something has come up since last I checked. You pretty much have to start the game through steam if you want hit sounds. I get the missing sounds like the heavy winding up, but I don't think I've ever lost the hit sounds after I started the game through steam.....

I want my hitsounds to be cowbell.

/win

we need more cowbell

LOL, yes!

This is still messed up, sux. It's weird, I get lots of sounds dropping out nowadays, and no hit sound if I don't start the game first. After all this time you'd think they'd have sound sorted out.

Are you using an integrated sound card?

Mine work fine....

I'm using X-fi...I wonder if that's the problem somehow. I am using latest drivers tho.
