Sometimes sound effects are being skipped

[robby22]

You ever clicked a skill and the sound didn't play and you clicked it again and it did that time? happens to me sometimes randomly

The sound card I'm using is a Creative SB0410 SB Live! 24-bit. I've had this issue in both Windows 7 and Arch Linux so I feel like it's something internal to the game itself.

Here are my sound settings in Ragnarok, which should I try?

So after some testing it looks like this happens when there are too many sounds being played simultaneously (such as skills, effects, monster attacks..etc) it creates problems in the call stack for queued up .wav files since it's trying play audio asynchronously.

This can be solved by extracting all the .wav files in the GRF and using bash to replace them with millisecond .wav files so they are removed from the queue quicker.

for i in ~/data/wav/* ; do cp ~/file.wav ; done
