I have an ambient_generic that's playing music. It's activated by a trigger_once, but, once activated, it will only play for a few seconds and then stop. I unchecked the "is NOT looped" flag, but the sound isn't even done playing before it stops. Please help!

Which sound file are you using?

Still not working. Anyone know of anything I could try?

Did you try activating the ambient_generic with a console command? Maybe the trigger makes problems.

What's the command to do that?

Just did. Same thing: it stops after a second or two of playback. So, then, what's wrong with the ambient_generic?

I believe this sound isn't made to loop, as it's used in the one-time "cinematic" when the generator implodes.

It's the music from the turret redemption line. (I'm pretty sure.) It's music, not an explosion/implosion sound.
