com_soundMegs

Allocates RAM in megabytes for buffering sound samples and audio assets. The default 8MB is sufficient for base game sounds but can cause stuttering or missing effects with high-quality custom sound packs or modified announcer voices. Pros increase to 32MB or more for smooth playback in custom servers.

💡

Pro Tip

Bump to 32MB — custom announcer packs and high-quality sound mods never stutter or drop sounds again, which is why every pro who uses custom audio runs this value.
