	Sound distortion when playing effects

Hello!

I am having issues with distorted sounds. Basically I want to use a Master, Sound and Music-volume. What I do is. I set the mastervolume by doing..

soundEngine->setSoundVolume( volume );

I preload my effects using this function:

void PreloadEffect( void* data, int size, const char* effectName )
{
	_preloadedEffects[ effectName ] = soundEngine->addSoundSourceFromMemory( data, size, effectName, false ); 
}

When I play an effect I do this..

ISound* newEffect = soundEngine->play2D( _preloadedEffects[ fileName ], loop, false, true );
newEffect->setVolume( mEffectVolume );

For some reason. If mEffectVolume is anything except 1.0, the sound gets distorted and "clips". mEffectVolume goes between 0->1.0f. Anyone got any idea what might be the problem? Do I need to create new SoundSources every time I play a new effect? I was thinking maybe if I play the same sound multiple times simultaneously using this setup, setting the volume of one of them might affect the others?

Solved it myself..

A tip for others. Make sure you start effects paused and then resume them if you want to set their volume or other settings when you play them.
