I've recently tried to install a qustom hitsound, but it won't seem to work out for me. I had one a while back, but after optimizing my computer, I had to reinstall it all. Now all suddenly it won't work even tho I places it exactly where I should:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\hitsound\sound\ui
The thing is just ... why? Is this a commonly experienced TF2 problem, or am I just missing out on something. Help would be appreciated.
Quickly note that I am using wav folders, so thats not really the problem.

do you get any errors in console when the hitsound should be activating?

Make sure you have the default hitsound enabled in-game and then your custom one will override it

type
play ui/hitsound.wav
into console to check if it is detected at all, it might tell you that the .wav is at a wrong rate - you need it to be 44,100 kHz, 16 bit and in a Mono channel.

your file path may not be right
should be tf/custom/my custom stuff/sound/ui
idk if having your custom stuff folder labeled as hitsound will mess anything up but that's all that could possibly be going wrong with your hitsound not playing
edit: according to smesi I'm wrong so disregard what I've suggested

Make sure the file's name is "hitsound.avi" and that you chose "default hitsound" in the advanced options.

Console clearly replays my custom hitsound, but only when I type ''play ui/quakehitsound.wav'' into the console. My replacing it with hitsound.wav, I'm getting the default one. If what you're saying is true, how do I change it into 44,100 kHz?
ZootSuitRioterdo you get any errors in console when the hitsound should be activating?
No errors at the moment.

I do play ui/hitsound.wav in console, it plays the right hitsound. But when I actually use it in-game it plays a weird, high-pitched hitsound. Same with my killsound

Sounds like your hitsound pitch settings might be off? Play with these settings (im sure if you type them in individually without a value the game will tell you what each one does, im on mobile rn. These are my settings for the quake hit/killsounds too so if you use those this is perfect imo)
