I keep geting this error when I try to play a sound effect.
(in room 900) Sound sample load failure: cannot load sound 1
any ideas on what could be wrong?
you don't have a space between sound and the # do you?
I had the same problem... see this thread:

Other sounds work fine. So, if you get that message try replacing by another sound (or have a look to the other suggestions on that topic).
Scummbuddy, the error message automatically adds the space, so I don't think that's it.
- Check if the file is in your game directory, not the compiled directory.
- Check if its name is sound1.wav, not sound01.wav
- Check if the file is not actually named sound1.wav.wav (turn off "Hide file extensions" in Windows-Explorer/Extras/Folder options/View)
- Check if you saved the file as an uncompressed PCM wave file, ADPCM compressed wave files produce the error message you've described
Its weird, but I think it has to do with the last thing strazer said, the sounds from other sites work fine, its only the .wav's from this one site. I didn't post that before becouse I didn't know it.
To make sure, if you have Winamp, play the wave file with it and press the "File info" button (the small "i") to see if it's compressed or not.
