Intro
In this short tutorial you will learn how to loop a .wave sound file. (.mp3 can't be looped via cue points) Looping sounds in Source requires a simple short process to be made. Sounds cannot be simply looped by un-checking the Is NOT Looped flag of a ambient_generic, you must add cue points to a sound. To do we must use a program called Goldwave. Download it here. There is a free version available. Once installed you are ready to begin.

Save the file and it's loop-ready. Now when you use a Ambient Generic and un-check the Is NOT Looped flag it will loop in game correctly.
