Have you tried using the soundscript version (music.something)? That should work a lot better.

The what? Can you explain? Is that a category of wav file in either the RAW or game sound folder?

Also, what do I recall hearing about clearing your Portal 2 audio cache? Could that be related?

What command in the console should I use to check? Nothing comes up automatically when the button's pressed and I go to the console.

"developer 2".

But given the additional information, I don't think that's the problem.

Is this a custom sound?

Ah, good question. Nope. Just regular music from Portal 2.

In that case it (almost*) certainly has a soundscript. What is the name that you're using right now?

* I believe there are only two music files in the game without soundscript entries, but there may be more that I've missed.

Okay. Right now let's just try to solve the issue in the basic room I created last night in order to isolate the problem. I have a single button triggering an ambient_generic. If I have it set to a sound effect, it works. Music is always silent.

Currently, the sound I have it set to is music.ctc_b1_001, from the game sounds folder.

Thanks for your help.

I just used Developer 2 (thanks for that tip -- I didn't even know it existed and I love it), and when I pushed the button, this is what came up. "Laugh" is the name of the sound file.

(Ignore the frame rate thing from Overwolf)

Could your music be muted in options? Also make sure in 'flags' that Play Everywhere is checked, Start Silent is checked and Is Not Looped is unchecked.

Yep. All of that stuff is set correctly.
