  For all the as3 devs...

  I'm using SoundManager and loading in sounds linked from my library. Everything works swimmingly 90% of the time. 10% of the time, when I trigger the sounds with soundManager.playSound("click", .4), they are all way too loud and it sounds distorted. I'm tracing out the volume I'm sending the playSound and it's always as expected. I can't seem to cause this issue, it just happens ~10% of the time. Any ideas?

  SoundManager for reference:

  I'm not sure if this applies anymore, but mp3s with variable bit rate can play disortedly in Flash. Either way, I suspect your audio files and not your Flash setup.

  Not sure why it works 90% of the time though.

  if it's way distorted, maybe it's playing multiple instances simultaneously?

  • Traces in the play function don't show that it's being called more than intended– acrossthesea1/2

    thanks for the suggestion though– acrossthesea2/2

  No, this is a known issue in Flash, it only happens 90% of the time, it happens when you publish. I think it might be what CyBrian said. Just export again until sounds are okay

  • only 90%?– wordssssss1/2

  Weird, it seems that if I try to play a sound while I'm in middle of a big load, it will screw up the sounds from that point on.

  • It struggles playing the sound while the swf is doing some heavy lifting, then it's distorted from then on– acrossthesea

  I would try re-compressing your sounds from raw files. See if that does anything. And don't use variable bit rate for mp3s.
