Distorted audio effect...

I've just added an audio effect (.wav file) to my game. It plays fine when playing over a normal audio player, but when it plays through the game it comes out elongated and distorted. Is there some action I need to add to remove this effect?

Cheers

This is almost always because you are playing the sound every tick. Make sure the sound only plays once. IE: On start of layout.

Can you explain how I do that? I'm still learning the basics.

Thanks.

You need to do some of the tutorials, otherwise you won't get far, and get frustrated when things don't work.

In Construct, the entire event sheet is called every tick (nominally 60 times each second). Most likely, you don't want to start playing a sound every tick.

Instead, you probably only want to play the sound once when a particular event has occurred. For this you will need to use a "trigger". Many conditions are automatically designated as triggers, such as "On Start Of Layout", but some conditions are not, such as "health <= 0". In the latter case, you can add an additional condition called "Trigger Once While True". This will cause the event to only be called once, instead of every tock.
