to start you off, you need to add a "test_" prefix to your sp maps which will load all sounds in the game.

so that would be:

test_mymapname.bsp
test_mymapname.scr
test_mymapname_precache.scr

test only loads all the animation not the sounds . Most of the sounds will be enabled if you put it in the DM directory . For some sounds you will need a work around .

Keep in mind however that using the test prefix is a waste of memory since way too many resources are loaded. A better way is following the ubersound work-around tutorial and the singleplayer maps without test tutorial.

It's way more work though
