Share a screenshot of your blocks. It’s very hard to troubleshoot Thunkable issues without seeing how you have things set up.

The one thing I can suggest is that when you initialize your variable, don’t give it a value in the initialization block.

@hikingplayz  
When you record the audio and play it the sound component will only accept .mp3 files.  
So When you play a recorded sound , it should be like

```auto

```

call sound1’s play  
source : join : ```

and here you have to join audio recorders result and .mp3 . Also , while saving in a variable you can do this
