Playing Multiple Sounds at Once

Questions about Thunkable
1

I found some posts on this topic from a few years ago suggesting changes were underway, so I wanted to ask again.

Is there currently any way to make two sounds play at once? For example, to have the background music continue while a sound effect happens? Or to have two sounds play totally simultaneously (like notes in a chord that are separate sound files)?

Thanks!

Hello @amd863oiw4
Welcome to the community.
Could you please share more information about the app you are building?
Why do you need to play multiple sounds at the same time?

Thanks so much! I’m guiding coding students through making their own apps. The project I’m specifically checking for is a sound mixing app where the user can combine different MIDI files to create songs, but I suspect it might come up in other projects too, so if there are known workarounds for any other case it would be great to know them.

I require a similar solution for my Game App.
I have background music playing when the game starts.
I want to play specific tones to let the player know if they are right or wrong.
Currently, once the short tones play, the music stops.
Can Thunkable clarify if this can be resolved soon in a future update.

Thanks!

Hello i am a 12 year old junior programming student

To solve this problem we must think out of the box

Some guy mentioned using a sound component, and i thought of the powerpoint form of audio (Audio is a component there)

And since i have experience with powerpoint, i decided to recreate the sound component by using an extremely tiny blank video with audio in it as a sound component

Thank you for reading, best of luck.
