From the Sound FAQ:
Q: My sounds STOP abruptly while being played, or Dink crashes !
A: Dink Engine BUUUUG. Blame Seth at sethable@rtsoft.com. Flame him all want, and send him all kinds of destructive emails. I dont object
Anyhow, the problem is that Dink looks for a DETAIL, DESCRIPTION, COPYRIGHT information inside the WAV file. Therefore, if you tape yourself, or convert an MP3, without using some sort of REAL sound editor ( Like SoundForge or GoldWave ), your WAV files will not have that information. And as the result, your files wont play the whole time, ( 5 secs instead of 20 ..and such ). To correct this problem just download ANY shareware or freeware sound editor (that allows you to save and add the detailed information) open your file in that application and save it...That is all. To check if your file is in correct format do the following:
1. Right-click your wav file, and select PROPERTIES on the bottom.
2. Look for DETAIL tab, if you have it, you dont have to change/add anything.
3. If you dont have it, re-save your file and any professional sound editor.
P.S I understood that bug at 3:00am after spending 14 hours figuring out why my sounds wouldn't play... I am still thinking sometimes about suing Seth
