HowTo How to fix sound issues in-game. (1 Viewer)

Oh no! Some of the sounds in this map arent playing or are very stuttery and glitched!
​

Sometimes (especially if you're playing on custom maps), the background music and sound effects may be blurred or warped. One solution to this problem is to type in "snd_restart" into the console. This will restart any in-game sounds, including custom music or background noise. If you haven't all ready, you'll need to enable the developer console and then open it (to check what key it's binded to, look in the options). Type in "snd_restart" (without the speech marks). Press enter and any in-game sounds should stop temporarily, and then play again.

This is completely harmless and will not break your game/experience in any way.

If you're still having sounds issues in a map or in general, check out this Steam forum post for further help.

Also if you're having consistent problems with sound (crackles, stuttering etc.) and verifying game cache doesn't help, you can try increasing the snd_mixahead value. The default is 0.1, I recommend incrementing the value by 0.05 until the problems stop appearing. Remember that increasing this value will increase the sound delay.
