    Legacy GM [Solved] Loop a sound effect for a set amount of times

    Hi guys, I am trying to loop a sound effect, but only for a certain amount of times in stead of indefinitely. As for now I just loop the sound and stop it at some later time. But this often cuts the sound effect off in the middle, and I don't know of a way to toggle looping on/off. I am aware...

    Windows Audio problem

    I imported some music / sound into my Game Maker Studio 2 project. When I play it in the audio window, it sounds fine. But when I run the game, it sounds crackles and plays much slower. It doesn’t matter which settings I use, compressed or uncompressed. I tested it on Macbook pro with Mac OS...

    GameMaker sound_add replacement?

    I see that there's still sprite_add, but I don't see an audio version. Am I missing it, or is there no way to add sounds from external files? Edit: Welp, nevermind. Just saw that it's "audio_create_stream". Or at least it seems to be the closest.

    How to stop GM 2 from re-writing the sound files (.ogg)?

    Hi all, I am new here, just getting started. When I compile, GM2 re-writes the sound files I created and makes them bigger in the process. How do I keep it from re-writing them? They are already as optimized as I can get them, the quality is where I want them to be. GM2 seems to re-write them...

    Resources for gameplay sounds (top-down Roguelike)

    Hi, So I struggle finding nice sounds for my roguelike top-down rpg game. I know freesound.org and soundbible but I don't really find quality content for explosions, etc. They are too "real" and don't fit in a game. I need some low-pitch, discrete ones and yet recognizable. If you could...
