I'm emitting sounds to players but they're either not being emitted or glitch the audio.

I have 4 sounds:

#1, doesn't emit.

PHP Code:

public @HamSpawn_Post( id )
{
    if( is_user_alive( id ) )
    {
        client_cmd( id, "spk %s", g_iSounds[ Landing_Sound ] );
    }
    return HAM_IGNORED;
} 


#2, Glitches the audio, makes a weird un-pleasant noise.

PHP Code:

public @HamThinkInfoTarget_Pre( iEnt )
{
    if( ! pev_valid( iEnt ) )
    return HAM_IGNORED;
    
    new szClassName[ 32 ];
    pev( iEnt, pev_classname, szClassName, charsmax( szClassName ) );

    if( equal( szClassName, AIRDROP_CLASSNAME ) )
    {
        set_pev( iEnt, pev_nextthink, get_gametime( ) + 0.01 );
        
        if( pev( iEnt, pev_flags ) & FL_ONGROUND )
        {
            client_cmd( 0, "spk %s", g_iSounds[ AirDrop_Land_Sound ] );
        }
    }
    return HAM_IGNORED;
} 


#3, doesn't emit

PHP Code:

public @HamThinkPlayer_Pre( id )
{
    if( ! is_user_alive( id ) )
    return HAM_IGNORED;
    
    if( g_bIsPlayerInParachute[ id ] )
    {
        static Float:fVelocity[ 3 ]; 
        pev( id, pev_velocity, fVelocity ); 
        
        if( pev( id, pev_flags ) & FL_ONGROUND )
        {
            g_bIsPlayerInParachute[ id ] = false;    
            client_cmd( id, "spk %s", g_iSounds[ Landing_Sound ] );
        }
    }
    return HAM_IGNORED;
} 


#4, Works properly

PHP Code:

MakeAirDropEnt( )
{
    client_cmd( 0, "spk %s", g_iSounds[ AirDrop_Appear_Sound ] );
} 


They're all 8 bit 22050 hz mono channel

1. Show g_iSounds values.
2. Most likely because you set the entity to think each 0.01 seconds and you are always emitting the sound, without ever letting it play. You need to sync the entity think to the sound duration. For example if sound duration is 1 second then the entity should think each 1.0 seconds to let the sound play.

1)

PHP Code:

PARACHUTE_DEPLOY_SOUND = CS_BattleRoyale_Sounds/Parachute_Deploy.wav
LANDING_SOUND = CS_BattleRoyale_Sounds/Landing.wav
AIRDROP_APPEAR_SOUND = CS_BattleRoyale_Sounds/AirDrop_Appear.wav
AIRDROP_LAND_SOUND = CS_BattleRoyale_Sounds/AirDrop_Landing.wav 


2) Doesn't FL_ONGROUND get called only when entity/player hits the ground? So basically just once? I think it does. My entity doesn't jump around for it to get called more than once.

1. Make sure the sounds are suitable for the game.
2. Make sure the sounds are preached.
3. Make sure the sounds are in the correct path.
4. Make sure when you play the sound you dont spam playing.
5. Make sure you are using wav type sounds when playing with spk/speak.
6. Make sure your client volume is hearable.
7. Make sure your speakers are working .
8. Make sure the length of the file path doesnt overcome the array size.

Some tips.

#3

@HamThinkPlayer_Pre( id )

Is this forward hooked?

If it is, thats mean the landing sound has file error means its not suitable.

Why not use MP3 ?

It is hooked, how is it not suitable if I'm using the allowed settings?

Because if I want to use emit_sound, MP3 isn't supported.

Well i am helpless, the only way now is trying to debug and check if it get called or not.
