Bug: Alt Tab caues the music to play in the background; not in the game.

I was wondering today why I wasn't hearing any music and then I noticed everytime I hit alt tab it plays the music in windows mode (not in game); like right now as I type this. :) It's not playing in game though when I alt tab back, or click the FTD logo. ;)

Which OS and version?

[rovaira2]

I have Windows 7 64 bit.

I alt tabbed into the game just now and it's not playing, but alt tabbed back again here and it's playing as I type instead. :)

We've not seen this on any of our machines here. Do you know what audio card/chip/brand you have?

I restarted the game and now it's working again. I've had this happen on and off today. I use create mode a lot, and test my adventures. In addition I play some adventures so some transition between these states may be causing this. I've been playing a lot so I'll soon figure out when it starts next time if it does it again. :) I have a GTX 570 graphics card, and a Altec Lansing sound system.

Ok. I just played an adventure (music played during the adventure), I hit quit adventure, and the music stopped once I went back to the main menu this time. This was an adventure I had created and played before. Next I joined another adventure and music wasn't playing in that adventure either. This time I hit alt tab during the adventure and now it's playing the 'menu music', but not the the battle music that normally plays during a boss fight; hope that helps. :) And after I typed this I hit alt tab to go back in and now no music again.

Yep, I have those sound bugs too all the time since 2.4.
Previously I reported the bug where the music turned very quiet and when I go in the home island into the options and turn the music off to 0% and up again the music plays right. This sould also solve the sound bug mentioned here.
Maybe I should have brought up the thing with the background music so you guys can find the bug easier.
But I think that in some cases the music stops in the middle of the adventures without Alt Tab. So maybe there are a few bugs around this problem.

Note: I don't tested the music bugs with 2.9 because I turned off the music all the time.

EDIT: I turned on the music today while I played a few adventures in alpha 2.9.
And the "bug"with the silent music is still present.
The problem is, that I can't find good examples for the bug. It happens randomly imo.

Ok, I want to look into this more, but we have a BIG update coming out today, so it will have to wait for another release. I'm glad to hear it's happening to more than one person... should make it easier to find the problem :-)
