I've put the hitsound in what seems like the right place yet I'm still getting the default one. Any help?

I am having the same problem I have tried all suggested methods and still getting default anybody figure it out yet?

don't just transfer over your old hit sound, transfer your entire sound folder as well.

i was having the same problem as well, so i just took my sound folder (that i backed up) and placed it in the custom>random folder. works fine now

Make sure you're making a folder in custom ("UserStuff"), rather than putting the files straight into custom.

I didn't back up my entire sound folder because the only thing that was in there was my hitsound so I only backed the file up

try an other name then sounds for your randomfoldername, and check if it's actualy a .wav file.

and make sure you have this in your autoexec

tf_dingalingaling 1
tf_dingaling_volume 1.0 // Sets the volume of the hit sound.
tf_dingaling_pitchmindmg 125 // Sets the desired pitch of the hit sound when a minor damage hit is done.
tf_dingaling_pitchmaxdmg 50 // Sets the desired pitch of the hit sound when a major damage hit is done.
tf_dingaling_wav_override hitsound.wav

I am pretty sure I have everything in the right place.

i do believe its somewhat broken right now because the pitch dosent change.

You also have to enable "hit sounds" in the game's advanced menu.

im sorry to bump this thread but can anyone help me figure out how to increase the volume of my hitsound? i already have it set to tf_dingaling_volume 1.0 in game but it is still to silent for my liking. Is there a way to boost the audio levels by editing the file of the hitsound? i am using this hitsound http://tf2dingalings.com/sound/details/256

Get audacity, and goggle "audacity amplification."

Or you can pm me and I'll do it tomorrow.

just open the file in audacity and increase the gain

ty for the help guys. i couldnt figure out how to amplify so i just increased the gain and it worked. :)
