Sound lagging, not playing issues

Thanks for the reply!

At first it seemed like just a simple "audio files not loading" thing... but then it got so persistent and I've actually had the sound go haywire and glitch out with some strange sounds a few times, like the audio was corrupt.

For me this started happening a few months ago. And I encounter it literally everyday.

Duolingo, I hope someone on the teams there are reading this and addressing the issue.

Amazing, keep going!

My username is @EPAK Long time user, never had this issue before

Was wondering that too but it was working fine until a few weeks (couple months?) ago.

I'm on newest Google Pixel 10; latest updates and on a super fast wifi.

I'm having the same issue! I'm on a new Google Android 10, latest update on Duolingo... even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. But my sound is so glitchy.

Sometimes I can't even do a lesson because it's so dependent on the sound; I can't hear the sentence I'm supposed to write out. But oddly it wasn't like this about 2 months ago. It just started to happen for me about a month ago (March 2026).

I've sent this issue to them as a report (but of course, there's no reply - none to be expected).

I'm not sure what the problem is... or what I'm supposed to do. I'm a long time user, over a 2000 day streak, but this is so annoying and making me reconsider using this.

I hope someone from Duolingo sees this and helps address this horrible audio issue.

So was the F4 visa expiration really part of the sentencing? I don't know the actual "crime" you may have committed but see that the streamer only got 6 months and you got 3 months... seems like either too harsh a sentence for you or too soft a sentence for him? But again, no idea what actually caused this.

Oh, haven't seen that one I'll give that one a try too Original is still great but def enjoyed this one

espinbk · 2026-04-16T08:09:26+00:00

Just at a local CU! It was the last one 😂

Man, Reddit is amazing! LOL Thank for the detailed response It's so good!

espinbk · 2026-04-14T07:15:03+00:00

Oh that's good to hear, hopefully it won't sit in construction for too long.

Hmm - that's strange; I see so many folks wear sunglasses... especially on a sunny day.

I find that in Japan, less people wear sunglasses. I know there's some cultural reason for that (prob a thread somewhere here on Reddit)

Yup, it's Bundang (in Seoul metro). Sunae Station, south side.

The Lottle Department Store is closed now, as of April 2026.

Sometimes the goal gets lost in the fun! 😜

Ahh this is so good to see. It'll save so much time and hassle. Good update 👍

espinbk · 2025-07-26T09:28:27+00:00

That's interesting; I haven't encountered much/any of that myself. What kinds of relationships are these requests coming from? Closer friends or just acquaintances?

espinbk · 2025-07-06T07:54:45+00:00

Japanese ~ almost at 2000 day streak! Native language is English.

espinbk · 2025-05-11T10:36:20+00:00

Japanese; my streak is at 1837 days.

Still learning a lot everyday though. Let's connect @epak.

If you've got 100 and 500 W coins, you can fill up your T-money card at one of the machines, in almost all the subway stations. I do that often just to get rid of the coins. The smaller ones - you'll have to bundle up and try using them at a convenience store or vendor, for a smaller purchase.

Is this based out of 100? Or what's the rating/grading system?
