Keep in mind that currently there are 7 wav players available in total. Hum and 2 smoothswings are constantly occupying 3 of those slots.  
If you trigger more than 4 more sounds that need to overlap, you’re going to have to wait for the oldest one to finish playing it’s sound before a new sounds will be able to play. Long effect sounds exacerbate the issue.  
This is the “dud” you get.  
I have something in the works to kill off the oldest sound to make room for new.  
See this thread and this video.

> Topic: Freeing a wavplayer when we run out. (such as spamming blasts). Ideally, this would be the oldest triggered effect that is not hum, swingl, or swingh. I thought I’d take a crack at this, but I’m doing something wrong when getting a currently occupied player because I still get ‘nothin’ reported. But I should be on the right track? Shouldn’t be a big deal to do, right? RefPtr\<BufferedWavPlayer\> PlayPolyphonic(Effect\* f) { EnableAmplifier(); if (!f-\>files\_found()) return RefPtr\<BufferedWavPlayer\>(nullptr); RefPtr\<BufferedWavPlayer\> player = GetFreeWavPlayer(); if (player) { player-\>set\_volume\_now(font\_config.volEff / 16.0f); player-\>PlayOnce(f); current\_effect\_length\_ = player-\>length(); } else { STDOUT.println("\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Out of WAV players! Getting more...I think."); RefPtr\<BufferedWavPlayer\> effect = GetWavPlayerPlaying(f); effect-\>set\_fade\_time(0.003); effect-\>FadeAndStop(); effect.Free(); STDOUT.println("\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ok freed?"); player = GetFreeWavPlayer(); if (player) { STDOUT.println("\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Found freed player, about to 2nd attempt to player-\>PlayOnce()."); player-\>set\_volume\_now(font\_config.volEff / 16.0f); player-\>PlayOnce(f); current\_effect\_length\_ = player-\>length(); } else { STDOUT.println("\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* I got nothin. returning nothin."); } } return player; } The 2nd attempt to play is to prevent a dead click while we “reload” this time around.
