<p>With both <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Eurovision</span></a> and the Papal conclave happening in May, it’s gonna be a big month for Europeans who love overly complex, confusing and dramatic ways to select a winner that are run by international bureaucracies, include smoke for dramatic effect and feature excessively extra outfits</p>

<p>maybe it&#39;s hardcoded to pc speaker and I can&#39;t tell the difference between soundblaster and pc speaker because they&#39;re both coming out of the same laptop</p>

<p>huh. weird. when you try to backspace too far in the name entry screen, it goes &quot;duh-nuh&quot; at you, but that isn&#39;t connected to a LoadAndPlaySoundChunk call.</p><p>So it&#39;s using a different function for this ONE NOISE?</p>

<p>so, what&#39;s the additional pope death timestamp?</p>

<p>I thought it might just be playing from MIDISND.DAT instead (since the computer noise is very beepy, maybe it&#39;s just a synth sound?) but MIDISND.DAT starts at chunk id 218 and goes up. </p><p>WHERE IS 217?</p>

<p>uh oh. the computer noise is triggered with:<br />LoadAndPlaySoundChunk(217)</p><p>but I look in the DIGISND.DAT file and it has chunks 200-216. </p><p>So either my DAT file parsing is wrong or it&#39;s loading sounds from elsewhere, somehow? because the sound DOES play, so it&#39;s not just an error</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://queer.party/@yavien" class="u-url mention">@<span>yavien</span></a></span> which shows?</p>

<p>I&#39;m not really sure why it works that way, especially because calling LoadAndPlaySoundChunk(0) is equivalent to calling WaitUntilSoundFinishes().</p><p>So why not just do that instead?</p>
