SoundEffect audio issue

Background:  Created a custom component that is a simple mouse area that plays a click sound when pressed.  Here’s the relevant code snippet:

Problem/Symptom: This works sporadically, but in an extremely consistent manner. When clicking a button that uses this custom mouse area the following behavior is seen (or in this case heard):

               Click 1 through Click 3: distorted click sound

               Click 4: Clear Click Sound (this is the behavior I’m expecting every time)

               Click 5: NO sound at all

               Click 6 and 7: Clear Click Sound

               Click 8 to infinite: NO sound at all
