I finally got a gaming laptop. My old one was over 15 years old. Wow I really notice a difference in speed and performance. Only issue I have is that I am getting a "Failed to get decoder MP3" error in the CS console window. It keeps scrolling. Have any of you seen this error and know how to fix it? I also cannot hear the music when getting into a map. |

I never had this issue but I looked it up and apparently a lot of people have this problem on both CSS and Team Fortress 2. Perhaps this might help?

Congrats Angry!
What are the specs of the laptop?

I would just get another 8GB stick of memory so you dont run out of memory when gaming.
You can find out what type of memory your laptop uses and how many available memory slots are left using the below link
