Not played about much with sound but I'm adding some samples to my game code now and wondering if there's any tips on this. My "laser firing" sound works once, as does the explosion of a hit alien, but then all sounds just vanish. Any advice anyone ?

SB 128 PCI, no other problems with it.

There does appear to be a minor problem with the sound playback when used like so:

Play Sound <sound number>

After each time you play a sound it seems to reset itself incorrectly. A bug that, hopefully, will be corrected in a future patch (fingers crossed).

However there is a way around this problem. Force the sound to play from the very first sound byte by adding a zero on the end.

Play Sound <sound number>, 0

Hope this helps

Thanks for that. After a day of twiddling I stumbled upon the solution you gave me. Very odd bug...but thanks for the response.
