Playing sound or music, you can make it more client friendly,
add this char # front of sound path.

ClientCommand

PHP Code:

    // Whole file path to sound file
    new String:sound[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    Format(sound, sizeof(sound), "sound/custom/sample.wav");

    // Path is to sound folder and file exist, either in or outside Steam files aka VPK
    if(StrContains(sound, "sound/") == 0 && FileExists(sound, true))
    {
        Format(sound, sizeof(sound), "#%s", sound[6]);

        ClientCommand(client, "playgamesound %s", sound);
        // or
        //ClientCommand(client, "play %s", sound);
    } 


EmitSoundToClient

PHP Code:

    // Whole file path to sound file
    new String:sound[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    Format(sound, sizeof(sound), "sound/custom/sample.wav");

    // Path is to sound folder and file exist, either in or outside Steam files aka VPK
    if(StrContains(sound, "sound/") == 0 && FileExists(sound, true))
    {
        Format(sound, sizeof(sound), "#%s", sound[6]);

        // Need precache after adding sound character!
        PrecacheSound(sound);

        EmitSoundToClient(client, sound, _, _, SNDLEVEL_NONE);
    } 


EmitAmbientSound

PHP Code:

    // Whole file path to sound file
    new String:sound[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    Format(sound, sizeof(sound), "sound/custom/sample.wav");

    // Path is to sound folder and file exist, either in or outside Steam files aka VPK
    if(StrContains(sound, "sound/") == 0 && FileExists(sound, true))
    {
        Format(sound, sizeof(sound), "#%s", sound[6]);

        // Need precache after adding sound character!
        PrecacheSound(sound);

        new Float:pos[3];
        EmitAmbientSound(sound, pos, _, SNDLEVEL_NONE);
    } 


Note!
It's highly recommended to add sound in second folder, not place it in root ...sound/ folder.
Do it right: ...sound/myfolder/sample.wav

what would: "? - CHAR_USERVOX" do?

[Bacardi]

...not sure, maybe not work. It would be reading it normally path and gives error file missing last time I tested.
Maybe need use with another char, example: "?#folder/file.wav"
