Any error? Is it only when you playback a sound? Trying to plat a Wav or Mp3? Default or custom?

Is it map related? try it on another map. If not, then its your hammer install.
Remember it's the "extracted" folders you'll need to delete, not all local content.
By this i mean the SourceSDK_content folder from a file explorer, not through steam delete local content.
EG: *\Steam\steamapps\[user]\sourcesdk_content and *\Steam\steamapps\[user]\sourcesdk
These folders may not get deleted by doing it through steam, and usually contain problems like this. Back up your maps first!
Failing this, there is little more i can do. Check the Steam.Log? Try the Steam Forums?

Well that's the thing, i did delete that folder, not the local content... The problem is in all the games. wonder if there is an update that didn't install to mine, its a new computer and iv had a few different things seem odd about this one compared to my laptop where it worked fine. i have tried the steam forums and no bites yet but i did see one where the same problem was addressed but no answer was ever given to him.

ok... UPDATE I just re-installed sdk and EP2 because thats what i been working off of. i go into hammer and to sound browser. i click a sound and press "preview" button. it played a sound but then i go to another one and do it it doesnt seen to want to. i went to gcfscape and clicked on the same sound and it played but had about a 2 second delay before it did. when i g o back to the sound browser it is not locked up anymore and allows me to select another sound but locks up as i hit preview again.....
