Half-Life - Sound..
I bet u guys have heard of this annonying problem which happens whenever u minimize half-life to ur desktop.
Upon maximizing HL, ur in game sound is gone and the only remedy is to reconnect to the game (restart HL)
I have heard of a patch being released to remedy this, i, not too sure
Anyone found a way to stop this problem ?

Until they have enough content servers that can manage all the cs players out there they probably won't release 1.6final anytime soon. Yes 1.6 solves the loss of sound problem.(damn windows key)
If you want, you can head on over to www.shacknews.com and sign up to thier fileshack service (don't worry it's free). Search for steam.exe and download it. The steam file will install on your comp and then access the internet to update itself. After that it will see if you have hl.exe installed on your comp and give you the option to play cs 1.6beta. You best have a highspeed connection if you want to try it out though. Steam is meant for fast connections.
If you don't know what steam is, it is basically vavle's online service. Steam allows you to download games and updates to existing games that valve offers. I also hear that you will be able to buy HL2 via steam instead of going to a store and buying it.
Just to let you know if you have 1.5 installed and use steam to play the 1.6 beta your 1.5 will not be overwritten. Steam will save the 1.6 beta in a folder in the steam main folder.

As for the sound issue, opening the task manager and switching back to HL in there works for me, I get back to the game and still have sound (win2k or XP, but it doesn't seem to work with everyone's computer)
kicked out as in by the windows key?
isnt typing the server IP again and again a hassle ? :banghead:
alias "aliasname" "commands; separated; by; semi-colons"
Also try the "stopsound" console command or hit escape and then go to "Resume Game" after restoring Half-Life.
If you need to leave Half-Life for whatever reason and it is a planned leave of absence (e.g. not the Windows Key or anything like that), hit the escape key beforehand so that you're at the menu, then Alt+Tab out of HL. When you reopen Half-Life, hit "Resume Game".
Yes kicked out as in windows key. You only have to type the ip once after that just press up arrow enter. That simple.
the stopsound dont work.....
anyway thanks for all the help,
just wondering whether theres a way to disable the windoes key
Anywho, when I needed to minimize the game, I would hit esc to bring me to the menu (but not disconnect), minimize, then when I was done, bring the screen backup and hit resume game. The sound won't disapear if you do that.
whenever i use ALT TAB my resolution gets FUBARed and i have to restart windows.... maybe winME just sux
