Stop playing sound before going on to next function

by

I was tasked to create a simple mini game based solely on Javascript. I encountered a problem as I was adding in sound effects..

After the player drowns, the game should ‘return’ to its initial frame with one ‘live’ count decreased. During the drowning action, it plummets down the lake while the sound effect comes into place. However, the sound is activated a few .seconds late and the player freezes at the bottom of the lake. The game does not return either.

I have also tried adding stop() but it doesn’t work. Here’s a fragment of the relevant code.

gameCharacter_y +=2;
drownSound.play();
    
    
return;

Been stuck for days now and am an absolute beginner, would appreciate and be grateful for any suggestions!
Thanks.

  104. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
