In Dota 2, musical accompaniment is much less common than in the same CS:GO, and even more so — PUBG. However, it does occur. And today we will tell you several ways that will allow you to do this, to listen to your own, good music and turn it on to the rest, in order to set the team up for victory, well, or set fire to their farts — that’s how it goes =).
Method No. 1 — collective farm
The easiest and most famous way is to activate voice chat in the game, bring a phone with playing music to the microphone. Its quality will leave the best, and it is more than likely that you will be confused from the very first minutes of the game, and after it, they will also throw reports. Therefore, we do not recommend this method, but simply said that it is possible.
Method #2 — Stereo Mixer
This method involves using only those programs that are available on your computer
In the start bar, in the lower right corner, you can find such an icon as shown in the screenshot below. It may look different depending on which version of Windows you have installed.
If you don’t find it there, go to the Start search and write «sound» there.
Next — you will go to the settings of this function. But now — go to the record tab. It will either look like this:
Depending on which version of Windows you have on your PC.
Going to the recording item, you will have to find the “Stereo Mixer” item there.
By default (and rightly so) — it should be turned off. You, on the contrary, will need to activate (turn on) it. To do this, right-click on it and select the appropriate item. Ideally, turn off the microphone, because. they may conflict with each other.
Now you will need the music that you are going to play in Dota 2. If it is downloaded on your computer, put the necessary tracks on your desktop for convenience. If it is not downloaded, then in a parallel window, open the browser in which you will launch this composition.
All that remains is to enter Dota, start the match, close it, start the track, return to the game and press the button that activates the voice chat. Music will play in perfect quality.
Method #3 — third-party programs
There are many programs that allow you to play melodies in games. But for Dota 2, the ideal program would be HLDJ. On her example, we will tell you everything.
Unpack the file and install the program.
At the first start — the program will offer you its automatic settings. Be sure to refuse it — it’s important, so choose «NO»
Click Setup (gear icon). Here again choose No.
Click on the green plus sign at the top.
Enter Game Name here (anything, but for clarity — sign Dota 2).
Where Engine is an engine, leave Sourve.
Where Play audio key is the button that will play music in the game. Be sure to put the one on which there will be no other binds, for example — F2.
Where is Game Directory — specify the path to the game, to the folder called «dota», after which — click OK.
Where Audio Directory — specify the path to the folder with tracks.
Now save the settings, and then again. Until the green triangle is highlighted.
Now, when you press F2 — you will play the tracks in the game.
It remains only to set up the binds that allow you to switch the track or play some special one. To do this, simply write bind x hldjn in the console. This will allow you to switch to the next track by pressing the x button. If you want to bind something special — write bind x 23 (track number).
Now, when you press F2, you will see the microphone icon, in which the tracks you specified will be played. Good luck to you and your hit parade in Dota 2.
