Intro
In this short tutorial you will learn how to loop any sound file. 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.
Adding the loop
Open Goldwave and open the sound you want to loop. Click the cues icon.(
)
Then in the new window click on the New button and add a cue At Start. Then click New for another cue and add a cue At End. So it looks like this:
Conclusion
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.
