Made this in the wrong forum yesterday, gonna remake it here instead of bumping.
Alright, like a lot of people, I've been using atf2 to use #tf2.pug.na and #tf2mix, but since that went down a few days ago, I installed and started using Hexchat. I got everything working except for highlighting, no matter what I do, it doesn't play any sounds. here's what I've done:

One thing which is probably important is that Hexchat doesn't show up in the volume mixer (This thing)
This is really annoying because I pretty much can't play pugs unless I'm alt tabbing to IRC every few minutes to make sure I'm not getting afk'd.

Does it come with any default sound files? If so you could try those instead. Also search for anything else that sounds vaguely relevant and add a sound for it, it might not be called beep.
Also also it says it automatically highlights your nick and I doubt it's case sensitive, so you probably don't need most of those extra highlight words

When I first noticed that it wasn't playing sound it looked like this. I'm going through and trying other alerts by adding a sound file to them and testing it, but besides Channel Action Hilight, I can't find any that look remotely logical.
As I'm typing this I found something that proves that Hexchat isn't playing sounds- no matter what .mp3 I use, when I hit the Play button next to the browser it doesn't play a sound. So that means that it's probably not trying to play a sound. I'm going to do a clean install and see if it works.
Edit:
After reinstalling, and this time doing a custom install and installing all of the addons, it now appears here, but it still does not play sound.
Edit #2:
Tried playing some random audio clips, it turns out that now that I've reinstalled, it will play audio, but only .wavs. Works now.

sorry to bump an old thread but i'm having a similar issue where my hexchat is just highlighting random phrases?

it's triggering the beep on each highlighted line (lines in red).
