Sound error

[voidmind]

I've been having no luck in trying to add my custom sound. I read the tutorials and various threads about sound/music here but none of it works for me. So what I did as a test is that I added a custom Mp3 from ffa_carbonfreeze (which works fine in ffa_carbonfreeze)) to my level to make sure it was not an Mp3 encoding issue.

 

Here's my entity:

classname target_speaker

origin -188 80 76 (floating somewhere in a room)

noise sound/gears/geardown.mp3

spawnflags 1

(looped-on is checked)

 

When I load my map (sv_pure 0 is set) and move my character close to the entity, I get this error message and I'm ejected from the map to the main menu:

 

Error:

LoopSound_ChannelInit():

Cannot use streamed MP3 files for random access.

(sound/gears/geardown.mp3)

 

What's the problem here? ffa_carbonfreeze's author manages to use MP3 files somehow so I'd like to know how.

possibly i'm thinking it's the compression of the mp3. try lowering the compression and that may work.

I doubt that's the problem since, like I said, I'm using an MP3 file I took in the PK3 of a map that uses it whitout any problems.

that is odd.
