GameMaker 1.4 HTML5 sound delay

[Korpokrowa]

Hi, I'm coming back to game development after huge break and for a beginning I want to fix something that really bothers me. Long time ago I decided to port all of my games to html, because it's more possible for someone to play my horrible games if they don't need to be downloaded first. Unfortunately, all games made in GameMaker have annoying bug. Before playing any sound, music etc. for the first time, there is some delay. This one game I made on the other engine works fine. Any ideas how to fix it?

You could try messing around with the uncompressed/compressed and streamed/not-streamed options for your sounds.

If the sounds are compressed, they'd need to be uncompressed before they're played, it could result in a delay.

Does this happen with your when you're using your computer, or only on a mobile device? I've noticed that there's a slight delay on some mobile devices that I've used for testing my HTML5 games. In some games, there might also be a small initial delay the first time a sound is played, but it works fairly nicely after that.
