What you are doing wrong, unfortunately, is that you are using scenes. 

Combine them all into a one-scene movie and everything will be fine. In the 

future, try not to rely on scenes; they cause several problems (as was 

discussed here earlier today).


If combining into one scene is impossible, you will need to split up your 

sound file for use in each scene. Using an external sound editor will be 

simplest. A bit trickier, but definitely possible, is to use the whole 

sound in each scene but use the in/out edit markers (little grey 

rectangles) in the Sound Properties box to select just the part of the 

sound that should play in that scene.
