Thanks for replying; I've updated to the latest driver version of my sound card but no change. I didn't think the problem would be in that area actually; I have a relatively recent card I have no audio problems in any other kind of applications. But it was worth a try; appreciate the response. I was (and kinda still am) assuming the problem would be more on the Java/Ant side, specifically something with the buildFinished listener the sound task sets to hook into the end of a build. Unfortunately -debug doesn't provide any info about that as far as I can tell. I guess the only thing I could try is to find out exactly how the task plays the sounds, and reproduce that in a standalone Java app to (dis)prove the problem is purely inside Ant. If I get around to doing that I'll post back. In the meantime, here's hoping someone else has ever stumbled upon the same symptoms and found the exact cause and/or a solution.
