		EmitAmbientSound("music/jihad/explosion.mp3", NULL_VECTOR, client, SNDLEVEL_ROCKET);

the player and people who die in the explosion can hear it, not very loud

and if anyone is more than 10 feet away hear almost nothing, anyone further than that only see an explosion and hear nothing



how can I make it so the sound "radius" is larger and louder? as in make it louder and sound carry further

Have you tried using the fake precache sound method? It's in the Wiki under CS:GO Quirks

Basically playing from the music folder limits the sound volume, so you need to move the sound into another folder like sound/misc/ and emit the sound using the fake precache method. Worked like a charm for my stuff.

i see that would fix the volume problem, but it still doesn't allow the sound to be heard further away (radius)

any ideas how to fix that?

It might do both, you'll never know until you test it

You can also try emitsoundtoall and/or a different sound channel.

i figured it out, instead of using SNDLEVEL_ROCKET, i used SNDLEVEL_RAIDSIREN

now it works like it should
