Music issues with fangames

(1/2) > >>

128-Up:
First of all, I apologise if this is in the wrong board.

Anyway, as per the title, I've noticed some issues with fangame music since moving to Windows 8.1.
Occasionally, the music cuts out and it requires closing and re-opening the game to fix. While not much of a problem, it's still annoying, and I searched the forum beforehand and couldn't find a fix besides "Restart the computer" (which doesn't work, since the problem resurfaces eventually anyway) or "It fixed itself after a few days" (...very helpful(!)).

Anyone know what it is that causing this? The only connection I've noticed is that it only seems to happen with fangames that don't utilise external music.

Starz0r:
Did you already try what is recommended in this thread?

Isn't that just preventing the "triple sound effect = crash" thing, rather than the music not playing?

Either way, I'll re-apply it just in case.

Igzicorus:
The one thing I can think of is that on Win7, for some games I play, pressing ctrl+M with the game in focus will kill the music, but not sound effects. It doesn't come back pressing it again.  F2 -> load typically fixes it.

infern0man1:
Pressing ctrl+m makes a global true in most engines so that it doesn't play music; the way it's written, it doesn't generally save unless you save the game, and it'll reset the global if you don't save and restart the game.
