Sound keeps looping

CaribaLedon

Hi there!
I want to play a sound effect ONCE. To do so, I imported a .wav file into Godot. In the import panel, 'Loop' is NOT checked.
Then I assigned the wav to an AudioStreamPlayer3D.

When I call $MySound.play() once in a script, the sound keeps on repeating endlessly.

How can I make sure the sound is only played once?
Thanks!

I saw a tip that might help:

Select the sound file in the File System dock, verify that Loop is unchecked in the Import panel and click Reimport.

yeah, .ogg files are imported with loop by default, I went crazy a day for this

Yeah, Loop is unchecked. I also hit the Reimport button more than once ;-)
Sadly this does not change a thing. The sound is still looping...

Your code might just be the one on loop/reevaluated such that it effectively loops.

I have created a minimal example project that shows the issue. It is just a single camera + audio player. When the scene starts, play() is called once. Still the sound keeps on looping forever.

You can download the scene here:

Am I missing something very simple here? Or is this a bug in Godot?

Interesting, I set stream paused to true and then false again and it's not playing anymore. But even with the line commented out it previously played without stream paused set to true.

edit: So the actual resource seems to still have Looping set to Forward:

However even with it set to disabled via inspector, during runtime it is still somehow set back to "Forward" state according to remote inspection. I think it's a bug.
