Big Business' Secret to Defeating the Sound Glitch

[Big Business]

First of all, I have no idea what causes the Sound Glitch. However, after observing its behaivior for quite a while, I can share with you some secrets to defeating it. Note that I'm not going to say, "Play without the music," because you must like listening to the music if you're putting up with the music glitch.

THE CAUSE:

The sound glitch is initially caused by the organ in the background of the music stalling when you move from one area to another, causing the music to change. This happens both in the DDL playground and on the DDL streets. It depends heavily on what part of the music is playing when the music stops.

THE EFFECT:

Anybody who's had the glitch (which is practically everybody), knows that this isn't the bad part. The stalling organ in the background can somehow cause other instruments to stall, most notably the ones in the cog battle music and the building music. This causes almost all the instruments to be melded together in an obnoxious "AAAAAAAAH" sound, that will get louder as more stalling instruments are added to it. People used to think that the only way to stop it was to restart Toontown. However, there is a cure.

THE CURE:

Now it's time for Big Business' magical cure for the sound glitch. The cure is to go back to the place in DDL where you originally got the sound glitch -- either the Playground or one of the streets -- and wait around for a minute with the music on. Once the organ in the music starts playing, it will become unstalled, and the whole "AAAAAAAH" will vanish. In the playground, this will happen almost immediately, while in the streets it will happen at the point towards the end when the organ starts playing. The sudden return to sanity is sure to make you shout "Hajleluia!", and I guarantee you'll come to love that single point in the song, even when you're not having the music glitch.

Warning - Perfrom this cure immediately after contracting the music glitch. Failure to do so may make symptoms irreversable. Also, avoid going onto the trolley while suffering from the music glitch. The music on the trolley has been proven to make symptoms permanent

HOW TO AVOID GETTING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE:

In the DDL playground, it seems that only certain pitches of the organ can trigger the sound glitch, although it's near impossible to tell which ones. I've gone in and out of the playground so many times, I sometimes feel like I have some subconscious drive in my brain that tells me when it's safe to go. However, the best way to avoid the sound glitch is to go into your shticker book and turn off the music right before heading through something. Listen carefully, because this can also cause the organ to stall, and if it does, you'll have to turn the music back on, wait a second, then turn it off again and repeat the process until you hear silence. Then you can turn the music back on after you go through.

On the DDL streets, it's much easier to avoid getting the music glitch. The organ only plays at the very end of the music, so just wait for this part to end before going into anything.

Why would you want to do that when my suggestion is easier?

[Me Me Me Me]

it's harder because you have to find where it started at :P

[WonderGirl78]

It's about time someone posts this. I figured that out a while ago, but it still happens no matter how hard I try to prevent it . I usually have to go to the streets in DDL to fix it, but sometimes it works by going back to the DDL playground.

Nice to let other people know about it, and how to fix it, instead of logging out/restarting. I never thought about putting it on here, so I'm glad you did. You explained it quite well, too.

There's no teleport access to Acorn Acres, and if you're having the music glitch, you're most likely in DDL.

THANKS A BUNCH BIGGY BUSINESS...

I used this, and saved myself another trip the Doc's office.. :P

Another cure for that bug! I haven't read all the posts yet, but another cure is to enter Chip N' Dale's Acorn Acers!

The calming sounds of the Toony outdoors will put the "AAAAH!!!" beast to rest!

Too bad you can't fish in Acorn Acers! That would be cool!

[mildew102]

I have gotten into this in the HQ, and had to turn off the sound during the battle. Any cure for that?

[The Minigolf Master]

Wel, I know a few cures. One would be enter AA. Another one would be to, if you want, play without the music in ONLY DDL!!!! (kinda what Big Business said in "How to avoid it"), or something that I do is go into the streets and wait for a certain point in the music. After going over the 'certain point' a few times, it'll eventually go away. Also, I've found myself 99.9999999999999% of the time getting it from the playground and only once have I gotten it from the street, and that was from TPing to a friend.

I assume you're talking about Cashbot HQ. Don't go into the HQ during the part of the music that will trigger the sound glitch.

[iGamer]

I had this glitch going on once on trolley tracks. When all of those notes combine... OW! MAKE IT STOP!!!. Now i know how the cogs feel when we break out those megaphones. That glitch could be a lvl 8 sound gag with 200 damage MINIMUM lol

[K. Jon Kit]

Why not just keep the music turned off?

[skippers double]

I get it whenever I listen to the music then battle a cog "BOOM" the sound goes like AAHHHH!!
