I have the same problem, but in my case it's not too big of a deal. If
you are developing a game I suggest using Quicktime or CoreAudio.
There's really not a whole lot you can do when it comes to NSSound -
you can't even change the volume.
There was a short discussion about it at cocoadev.com. I don't know if
it'll help or not, but worth a look:

I've tried everything I can think of and I still can't get the first

turns up nothing of value.
I've tried:
mySound = [[NSSound soundNamed:@"aSound"] retain];
Then
[mySound play];
I've also tried to create a bundle, and init a sound with a path for a
resource:
mainBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *aSound = [mainBundle pathForResource:@"aSound"
ofType:@"wav"];
mySound = [[NSSound alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:aSound
byReference:NO];
Somebody here told me that the problem was that my sound was a .wav
file, so
I converted it to .aiff using Quicktime, still to no avail.
I tried loading the sounds into an NSDictionary and then playing them
as
such because somebody else here told me this would force them to be
loaded:
[[sounds objectForKey:@"mySound"] play];
I'm using 10.2.8 & Project Builder v. 2.0.1 w/the August 2003 &
October 2003
patches.
Sorry for the rant, but I've been trying to figure this out off and on
for a
few weeks now, and it is extremely frustrating. Is there something I'm
doing
wrong, or is there some sort of glitch with NSSound.
I was planning on doing a write-up for iDevGames about my experience
developing my first Cocoa game program, is there at least some
explanation
for why there is a delay for the first time sounds are played?
