Yes, you shouldn't really be trying to play client sounds on the server. Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:55:04 +0900 From: omegal...@gmail.com To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Sound issues
That's not really a good way to do an announcer. What you should do, is make a function on the client to play the announcements, via a byte or something (index in an enum) and dispatch the message (ie: register a msgfunc) to players, and let them play the sound locally on the client. You then also have the bonus ability to let clients override announcer sounds, like making announcer replacements, as they don't need to be precached to be played, plus, then you're not filling up the server with sound events.

First, there is a map with a looped sound in it, the entity is placed in the center of the map and can be heard everywhere (it’s a small map and the volume is high enough). Now, it sometimes happens that when I kill a bot, this sound’s origin jumps to the place where I currently am. It may jump to its original position when the next round starts or stays there for a few rounds. At times, not related to any kill, the sound also duplicates, so you can hear it twice while the two “copies” are out of sync. The second thing is that we got an announcer in the game, so there are sounds which are played to every player. We loop through the players and use UTIL_EmitSoundSuit in order to do so. The announcer received an overhaul just recently, which also added multiple sounds for the same event, which are set up as rndwave in the sound script. Since then I notice, that whenever I stand close enough to another player, I can hear the announcer’s line, which is played to the other player. However, UTIL_EmitSoundSuit is supposed to play a sound audible to the player itself, judging by the function’s comment. Has anyone seen these issues?
