Sound not playing for every presentation

Hi all,

I wanted to make an experiment to show the use of sound in combination with an existing experiment, with a bitmap and a sound presented simultaneously, but I found that, after coding, every so often a sound doesn't play when it should. Is there something wrong with my code (which I provide underneath), is this possibly something with my computer, or is this currently an issue with sound in PsyToolkit? The experiment I'm playing around with here is a version of the IAT using bitmaps, but without informing the participant of whether their responses were correct.
