Adding sound and music to objects

[Meg12687]

I added a .wav sound file to 1 of my objects. When I hit the space bar button for the event to work, I get an error saying:

Error during simulation.

Alice version: 2.2 06/15/2010

Throwable that caused the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Requested value 7.9588003 exceeds allowable maximum value 6.0206.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[TauTrumpsPi]

Looks like your sound file is too big, see if you can use a sound editor like audacity to shorten the sound

[Meg12687]

Thanks. I just tried to add the sound to one of the objects that come with the Alice program (chicken, doorbell, drip, gong, etc.), and I'm still getting the same error though.

[TauTrumpsPi]

Well, I downloaded your world, and I don't see the problem, none of the sounds I saw had any glitches.

Just as a side note, you can delete your "messed up" methods by dragging them to the trash can at the top

[Meg12687]

I'm getting the same error when i try to record a sound, so I guess it's just my pc?
