Recent problem I had: You have two .wav files. You're playing through an external sound card. 'A' always plays fine. 'B' plays sometimes, and sometimes not, randomly. If you play *both* at once, it makes no difference: you always hear 'A' and sometimes 'B' mixed in.
You're using 2 channels on the interface (files are stereo). It has a hardware level meter. The level meter always shows activity (in both L/R channels), even when playing 'B', regardless of whether it worked that time or not. When playing both files, mixing is done in software.

It's not a stereo cancellation issue: you can hear both channels and it doesn't sound like 'A' is suffering from cancellation. It's not a software channel routing issue: you've verified that both files mix into the same two main outputs, every time.

What is this sorcery? How can one file show up on the level meter consistently but only output sound half of the time, while the other file always works? Hint: 'B' was recorded earlier on the same interface. I already figured it out, but any guesses?
