I’m making a metal detector thinkable, I programmed it to play a sound when the µT is a bit higher than 80. but it goes too fast… basically, the sound is interrupting the other sound previously played. Is there any way to play a sound and wait until it’s finished? i tried adding some silence before the audio plays in a sound editor but that didn’t work. ---

The sound component does not work correctly when testing it on the preview or web test but it works much better in the mobile live test. ---
