So I also noticed that the GA application can mysteriously drop the sound output. Going to the edit prefs menu can bring it back, so can other accidental things. If it just sits in the background long enough - like about a 1/2 minute, the bubbles sound will quit too, and restoring the application to the foreground won't bring it back. Other system sounds continue normallyl.

If you go to the GA preferences, you will see that the bubbles are set to go on "when active", and when you hit OK sure enough the bubble sound returns.

If you set the preferences to sound always on, then the sound does not quit.

Perhaps the application is suffering from buffering up too much sound while missing the event that sends the windows back to the foreground? Just a WAG on my part.
