Assuming you have your sound settings set correctly, I would do a Verify Integrity of your game files in Steam to make sure nothing is corrupted.

also can you try rebuilding your sound cache by going into the L4D2 Developer Console and typing snd_rebuildaudiocache

(should get to 100%.. sometimes the screen doesn't close after a couple of minutes, just close it and try again)

its loading too much time... and keep loading and loading when it is 100%

Well, you can try:

Deleting your sound device and reinstall with the latest drivers.

Delete the local content and reinstall the game.

Rename your CONFIG.CFG file to CONFIG.OLD and let it recreate itself. This will set your settings back to default.

ok options 1 and 3 you gave me, are not helped to the problem =\
