There's this weird problem in my astroids clone game (final version to be out in a couple of days!!! whooohoo) where it'll play one sound just fine but if you add more the other ones will just play a couple of times and then not at all. Any help at all would be mucho apprecidio...

**the code is attached but it requires media so you can't actually test it out. also, sound 2 is the one that only plays a little.

There is a small bug in DBPro when playing sounds with:

Play Sound <sound number>

Internaly the sound does not reset itself correctly, however there is a way around this by adding a zero on the end:

Play Sound <sound number>, 0

This forces DBPro to play the sound from the very first sound byte.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
Unless your name is Bob Ross, then you can do it in thirty minutes.
