Legacy GM Game sound effects have a "hissing" noise after updating to latest version

After updating to 1.4.1804 from 1.4.1773, sound effects in my game seem to have this "hissing" noise whenever they play in-game. This issue was not present when I was using 1.4.1773.

Can someone tell me what is causing this annoying sound issue and why it wasn't happening with the older version?

Have you tried changing the sounds from 8-bit to 16 bit?

I often have hissing issues with 8 bit sounds, but not with 16 bit (and for an understandable reason considering how bit depth works with sound)

The audio engine was replaced for the Windows export in version 1.4.1788 due to a licensing issue, this introduced some issues with audio. Some bugs regarding this were fixed in version .1804 but not all I guess.
