Then I have my mono, 352kbps, 16bit, 22kHz, PCM wav in the "misc" folder of my IWD

I've tried a million variations... I just can't get away from this map... It's like an obsession... This is the last detail to work out... Let me repost what I have now for clarity

My map is called mp_msp4.iwd
in the .iwd I have 6 standard folders with these contents:
images/
loadscreen_mp_msp4.iwi (works)

maps/mp/
barrels.gsc (works)
mp_msp4.csv (works)
mp_msp4.d3dbsp (final compile complete and working)
mp_msp4.gsc *(works, except for elevator sound)

materials
loadscreen_mp_msp4 (works)

mp
mp_msp4.arena

sound/misc
elevator_msp4.wav *(not working in map)

soundaliases
mp_msp4.csv *(works except for elevator)

I really appreciate the help.. This is driving me crazy!

when I change the csv setting "auto" to "local" as suggested in another thread, the sound works, BUT it can be heard all over the map... Why wouldn't auto work?

Try adjusting the dist_max value... (2500 in your .gsc file)

I gave this a shot all the way down to 50, but as long as the file is Local it plays on the whole map and when it is auto, it doesn't play at all... Can I send you the IWD to look at?
