Sound Effect recycle problem

[adrywalsh]

Forgive me if this question has been posted elsewhere, the search mechanism strictly forbids searching for either of the words "sound" or "audio."
(even in advanced search, looking at only topics).

I am trying to make sound for a bouncing ball, a simple boink.wav is loaded.

boink = love.audio.newSource("boink.wav", "static")
[]
...
love.audio.play(boink)
....

My "boink" boinks on the first two bounces, then every other bounce, then it begins to boink only every so often.
I added a bonk using the same .wav file and doubled my boinks (or added bonks to the boinks) but the problem still eventually occurs.
The .wav file is shorter in duration than about 4 times the duration of boinkless gameplay.

Is there some sort of method to get my boinking back into rhythm?

Try mp3 or ogg. I believe there are still issues with wav.

ok, thanks!

for now i'm using an array and cycling through them. increased load time, but functional audio...

i cannot get a sound from .ogg (using audacity here).
and when I try .mp3 the sound is clearly playing back in a higher bitrate.

noob solution, slowed down the wav, exported the ogg and got rid of the array...
wavs are broken.
