So I have a sort of audio emote system that works like NoXiousNet's did. The script works fine, does everything it's supposed to.
The only problem now is when I put the script on the server and set up FastDL, the custom sounds don't play when triggered. (HL2 sounds I added to the emote list do play, so it's not a problem with the script.) My FastDL is set up correctly as the custom sounds download to my client, in garrysmod/download/emotes (I verified this by deleting all of them and re-joining the server) and they all play (locally, like in VLC not the game itself) just fine. The error I get in the in-game console is as follows:
Couldn't create BASS audio stream (unsupported file format)
Failed to load sound "emotes\aaaaah.ogg", file probably missing from disk/repository
That doesn't make any sense, because it's obviously there.

The sounds are also set up on the server, and listed in my fastdl force client download lua thing

And I don't think the path is typed incorrectly in my script file, because it's worked before like this. Here it is anyways.

Anyone have an idea on why this isn't working? Thanks in advance for any help.

Try another format other than .ogg? Both .wav or .mp3 are supported, I haven't seen any reference to .ogg being supported.
ogg is supported, but it may be too high quality. GMod only supports 16-bit wavs, and will fail to play 32-bits. I don't know what program you used to get or edit the sound, but Audacity has a slider for ogg quality when you export it.
That wouldn't be the cause. These sounds have worked in GMod before.
I also have some .wav files from Half-Life which I know for sure work in GMod which are not playing.
gmod can support max quality .ogg as long as its 16 bit.
its not the format.
your emotes folder should be in the sound folder.
