This is true,
but he had already sv_pure 0 so it shouldn't be that anymore.
And if he downloaded those files, that not either.
Those are regular problems.

But I think I found one kind MP3 bug in game now,
this maybe have been long time or happened after steampipe...
This bug happens when:

• client can't or not want to download missing MP3 files from server when connect (cl_downloadfilter none or nosounds).
• client precache missing MP3 files (look cl_precacheinfo)
• client not at any point re-launch his game!
• client can or decide download those missing MP3 files now
  reconnect to server or perhaps change server where same MP3 files, doesn't matter.
• client have now downloaded these files in his computer, as long as he not re-launch his game,
  he can't get those sounds work.

console

• I first precache 9 mp3 sounds from c4 sound list and joined to server without downloading those files.
• Then I edit c4 sound list to precache all 12 mp3 files and I change my cl_downloadfilter all
• Change level to download all those 12 missing mp3 files
• I can just play and hear only 3 of 12 mp3 files...
