SYMPTOMS
========

When you play a WAV sound just when the system begins to come out of Suspend
mode, the sound may stutter or break up.

CAUSE
=====

The system has not fully come out of Suspend mode. Many operations are occurring
simultaneously and the sound system is not fully reinitialized.

RESOLUTION
==========

Wait until the system comes out of Suspend mode completely before you attempt to
listen to WAV sounds.
