I crawled all around the internet to find a answer.But nope.
I have a startup sound at content/sound/music/startupsound.mp3
I wanted to play the sound with surface.playsound but i soon realized its clientside
I dont want to use sound.play becouse it relies on coordinates.
Is there any way i can accomplish this? Its really annoying becouse i have done atleast 10 google searches
why would you want a startup sound to play serverside?
if you want to use sound.Play you could set the coordinates to the player it's playing on with player:GetPos() but this probably isn't a good solution
Just use surface.PlaySound clientside, or each client or whatever.
I also suggest you choose a more unique file name for your server's sounds so that they won't get overridden by client mods or other servers.

All i want is to play a song whenever a round starts.
I dont want clients to control when its played or not so i need to make it serverside.
I am disappointed there is no proper play sound commands for serverside yet
EDIT1:Basically all i want is when a round starts it plays a song for everyone to hear just like in cs:go
Clients can't "control" the code you execute on them.
There are plenty of proper ways of doing this. You just need to choose which one you wish to use.

Ultimately, all sounds are played on the client either way.

Here's another function that would work serverside allowing you to do this, if you use it properly:
