I had the same problem on my server. Actually, it happened to be a problem with the soud file. I used audacity and stereo mix to record the sound without having to use a youtube to mp3 converter (tutorials are easy to find) and it worked just fine (sorry for my bad english)

Your English is fine friend, but yeah I used Audacity as well.

i used audacity as well but it didnt worked.

if you can see the taunts in the list, it means the text is correct, but for some reason, the game can't play the sound. It can be a problem with the path to the file, or the file itself that can't be read

for example, here is a taunt I added

addTaunt("Bruit", {"prophunters/noise.wav"}, "props", nil, {"Noise"})

and the path to the file is [server file]\GarrysModDS\garrysmod\sound\prophunters\noise.wav

you can see that the path begin with the file inside sound, and not sound itself


Another way to check whether it's from the path or the file itself is to extract a tauntpack, put the files in your server and replace one sound with your taunt (rename your taunt with the name of the file you replace) and to play the taunt in game: if it play your cudtom taunt, the problem is with the path, if it remain silent, the problem is with the file

hope it helps :)

okey thanks helped a lot but is there a maximum size the soundfile can have because i cant think about anything else there could be why the file cant be read.
i have tried mp3 and wav files but nether worked or do i have to compress the files or something else?

Thanks! and yeah it helped a lot @Hokagami. <3

never mind got it had to change the files to 22050 Hz instead of 48000 Hz

who can help me i still can't hear my taunts
