Sound Skipping! Please Help!

Just as I was getting ready to release one of my best projects, Scratch decided to be all glitchy.

Whenever I import a sound file, and test it in the project, after a stop and a start, The sound file becomes corrupted and skips around. It's Kind of hard to give an actual example but maybe somebody could help me. So for instance If I wanted to make a sound that said:

"Hello this is my project"

After I click the green flag to test it, then the red stop sign, and play the sound again, It gets to be something more like this:

"lo-el-is-thi-y-m-roj-p-ect"

In essence it scrambles all the syllables and what not. And every time I click green flag the sound gets more corrupted! Is there anything I can do to stop this? Reinstall scratch? Import sounds somehow else?

I am hoping that this is a common glitch and that there have been a million people who have had it, and just as many who have fixed it.

Well whether you can help or not, Thank you for you time.

Re: Sound Skipping! Please Help!

That's pretty odd. What format is your sound saved in? Scratch often has difficulty with MP3's, so you'll have a good chance of fixing the problem if you convert it to a WAV file.

Re: Sound Skipping! Please Help!

I had this happen, it is usually because the project has been left open for a while, save it close it then reopen the project and see if that works.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

If it's in a script that says "When Green Flag Clicked Forever Play Sound ***" then that's the problem. You want it to say "Play Sound *** Until Done."
