When I do this commmand: "/playsound random.orb @p ~ ~ ~ 100"
it says "Source @p is unknown". The command follows the correct syntax that the /help command says, and would work in 1.9...

I am in English (US), which is the default language and stuff...
Also, what is <source> asking for? Is it a selector?
Are you using any resource pack then?
The en_US lists:
commands.playsound.usage=/playsound <sound> <source> <player> [x] [y] [z] [volume] [pitch] [minimumVolume]
source = master, block, hostile, ambient, neutral, weather, music, voice
You can tab auto-complete it.
It determines by what slider the sound should be affected.
The syntax is
Source is new in 1.9.
If /help states the old syntax, then the language you use isn't proppery updated, making this a translation request.
