What i've noticed is if one thing has played any sound or attempted to play any sound then if something has played or is playing sounds it will stop any other game from playing sounds...
Now if the other game is opened with something that plays no sound or hasn't played a sound yet it works fine...but only one game will play sound at a time...but if the game hasn't tried to play sound it will play sound if the other game that has played sound is closed....
Probably a garbled mess not understood at all but i'll list the steps to re-produce what i'm talking about...
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1.Connect to a game, for example my Rise of Heroes game....mute the sound with the mute button if you want even so you can pay attention to the other game.
In my experience it doens't matter how you join, click the play button on the hub, use the byond:// address, the bookmarks of recently played games, or if you added it manually, etc....
You do need to login to a character or create one though, so it will play sound...
2.Open up Two Steps BYOND...when you do it has sound too...background music...but you wont hear it because you have another game up, it doesn't matter that it's muted...
---Now it will be fine if theirs another game up that hasn't played any sound yet & will work(such as you haven't logged in on RoH so no sound has been played....but otherwise no sound will be played whether the music was stopped or not...
If you login RoH after Two Steps BYOND has played sound but was closed though RoH will play sound but if you logged in RoH but closed Two Steps, RoH will not magically start playing sound even if you change areas(to make different music play)...
I don't know how much sound effects are effected or anything but I should be able to listen to another games sounds even if I have RoH open in the background(but muted) so that I can chat with them while playing something else...without use of the pager...
I don't know what version it stopped working in but this used to work...
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
Not Applicable/Default sound() playback/multiple games
Expected Results:
To be able to hear music in another game I want to play even if I had RoH open already but muted....
Actual Results:
I can't hear any sound from the other game if I have/had another game playing sound/music previously...
I'm not sure in what all circumstances it applies but it definitely applys to when sound is playing in one game & another tries to play sound too it wont work...
---I haven't tested the same game playing multiple sounds which may be broken too, but I don't know...
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
In other games?
In other user accounts?
On other computers?
When does the problem NOT occur?
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
