Android / [SOLVED] 176 kbps wav files don't play well on Android but are fine on Windows

I have 7 click sounds in wav files.
I can load them all fine and I get no errors when playing all of them, both on Windows and on Android using AGK.

Now, 4 of the 7 have a very annoying 'knock' or 'bang' when the sound finishes playing - but only on Android.

The files that play badly are 176 kbps
The files that play ok are 352 kbps

Is this a known limitation for Android?
Obviously my next task is to try and convert the bad ones to also be 352 kbps as a workaround.

LoadSound ( 253, "click7.wav" )
LoadSound ( 254, "click1.wav" )

playsound (253) // good
playsound (254) // bad

I attach the an example of a good and a bad file.

Android is a Pixel 4a running Android 12
AppGameKit IDE 2021.10.19

some have issues with sounds < 0.5 secs, as yours is. and, consider .ogg? (see LoadSoundOgg)

try the attached where i've added silence to the end and converted to ogg.

thanks, I tried converting to OGG myself and got a runtime error (on AppGameKit player) saying it it was not a RIFF file.
I then found a difference between the files that worked and those that did not , and saw that the good file were marked as 16bit.
So I opened the bad files in GoldWave and set their attribute to be mono unsigned 16bit and that fixed them!

many thanks.

I missed that OGG files need their own load command.... (I am new at this stuff!)
