Issue Resolved:
Use the supersound.dll in Sephs engine, not the one posted in the gamemaker thread or else you'd have some serious problems.
I'm having a really strange issue and I'm not sure why it's happening. I have ideas as to why it is but I haven't fully tested it yet.
I'm at the very least certain that it is a sound issue. I'm using an edited version of Seph's Engine in which I'm loading all the music at the beginning of the game.

scrFreeSound() - I attempted using this on on Esc press before game_end();

SS_FreeSound(global.sfxMenuClick)
SS_FreeSound(global.sfxMenuSFXTest)
SS_FreeSound(global.bgmTitle)
SS_FreeSound(global.bgmStage1)
SS_Unload();
ESC Game End
/// Save Data and Close Game
// Save Data
if(room != rInit && room != rMenu && room != rIntro && room != rTitle && room != rMenu2 && room != rMenu3 && room != rMenu4 && room != rMenu5) { saveDeathTime(); }
// Unload SS
SS_Unload();
// Close Game
game_end();
Issue: After running the game multiple times eventually sounds on my computer stop playing (outside of streams for some reason) and I have to restart to fix the issue.
Idea: I'm not using SS_FreeSound(sound) at game end and I think this might be causing an issue. I think what's happening it's just pooling and causing this issue but when I tried to remedy this, on game end the game had crashed. I didn't extensively try to fix that problem.
I also took out cleanmem.dll since I wasn't seeing what it was doing and it appeared to have no real effect on the game.
This problem is above me and I can't really figure out why this is happening.
I believe cleanmem.dll might fix the problem and I believe this has something to do with it but I'm not sure.
I heard that SSound has a bug that won't unload sound in windows 7 or more. is this version for fixing that bug?
