I am working on a main menu where if you hover over a button it will play a sound, for example if I hover over the start button, a sound will play: “start the game” but the problem is when I hover over the sound it gets stretched.

This is my code

//Script Main Menu


//Inspector Var's
var hover : String;
var StartGame : AudioClip;
var Credits : AudioClip;
var Exit: AudioClip;
var HomePage: AudioClip;
var Tutorial: AudioClip;




//Private Var's



function OnGUI () 
{
	//make a group on the centre of the screen
	GUI.BeginGroup (Rect(Screen.width / 2-50, Screen.height /2-50,100,205));
	
	//make a box to see the group on screen
	GUI.Box (Rect(0,0,100,205),"Main Menu");
	
	//add buttons for game navigation
	if (GUI.Button (Rect(10,30,80,30), GUIContent ("Start Game", "Button 1")))
	{
		Application.LoadLevel("screenLoad");
	}
	
	hover = GUI.tooltip;
   
       if(hover=="Button 1")
	          audio.PlayOneShot(StartGame);

	
	//add buttons for game navigation
	if (GUI.Button (Rect(10,65,80,30), GUIContent ("Credits", "Button 2")))
	{
		Application.LoadLevel("screenCredit");
	}
		hover = GUI.tooltip;
   
       if(hover=="Button 2")
          audio.PlayOneShot(Credits);

	//add buttons for game navigation
	if (GUI.Button (Rect(10,100,80,30), GUIContent ("Exit", "Button 3")))
	{
		Application.Quit();
	}
		hover = GUI.tooltip;
   
       if(hover=="Button 3")
          audio.PlayOneShot(Exit);

		   
	//add buttons for game navigation
	if (GUI.Button (Rect(10,135,80,30), GUIContent ("Homepage", "Button 4")))
	{
		Application.OpenURL("http://meria-doc.tumblr.com");
	}
	hover = GUI.tooltip;
   
       if(hover=="Button 4")
          audio.PlayOneShot(HomePage);

		   
	if (GUI.Button (Rect(10,169,80,30), GUIContent ("Tutorial", "Button 5")))
	{
		Application.LoadLevel("TutorialLoad");
	}
	hover = GUI.tooltip;
   
       if(hover=="Button 5")
   
	          audio.PlayOneShot(Tutorial);

		   
	
	GUI.EndGroup();
}

the sound is continually playing.

try a Boolean like

bool soundPlayed = false;

then in your other function

       if(hover=="Button 3" && !soundPlayed)
        {
           soundPlayed = true;
           audio.PlayOneShot(Exit);
        }

you can then unset it when you are not hovering over anything

something like

if (hover == "") //or whatever it returns when you are not over a button.
{
soundPlayed = false;
}

edit : you don’t need to keep getting the value for hover just once will do, put it at the top of the function.

edit 2 :

also a switch would be nice there

switch(hover)
{

  case : "Button 1"
  {
   if(!soundPlayed)
   {
    soundPlayed = true;
    playSound(StartGame);
   }
   break;
  }

  case : "Button 2"
  {
   if(!soundPlayed)
   {
    soundPlayed = true;
    playSound(Credits);
   }
   break;
  }

  case : "Button 3"
  {
   if(!soundPlayed)
   {
    soundPlayed = true;
    playSound(Exit);
   }
   break;
  }
}

void playSound(AudioClip clip)
{
audio.PlayOneShot(clip);
}
