I have volume in Ventrilo, MusicMatch Jukebox, windows, etc.. and my volume on CS:S is all the way to the top for Game Volume, and I cant hear a thing. I use Steam.. Anyone know what could be wrong? Can't hear gunshots, nades, anything..

I already told you I can hear my Ventrilo and music fine. If I try to turn it up all the way it just sounds fizzly
Have you tried Steam Forums ?
It's much more possible to find a solution there.. Any firewall or AV running in the background that might cause sound issues?

Nope havent been to Steam Forums. I just use AdWatch (which only notifies me of any Registry edits tryin to take place), and Kerio Personal Firewall. I use AntiVir when surfing, but not for games.
Check your config.cfg file in your steam folder and find if sound is disabled.
I don't remember the exact cvar but you'll find it.

I think I found it. This is what it says.

I played using my SB Live! Value and had the same problem. Apparently it's some kind of issue with SB Live! itself (hardware, driver?). I started the game, went to the sound config menu and lowered my speaker settings from 5.1 to 2.0. Worked fine afterwards.
Later I tried using my mobo's built-in sound system (Realtek AC97) and there were no more sound issues.
Kinda weird though how I had it on 5.1 Surround (mighta been 7.1 forgot), and it had worked fine foir a couple months until just the other day.. ah well.
I think it's just a conflict specific to HL2/CS:S. My SBLive @ 5.1 works fine with all other titles so far.
