Code: var music_handle = media_loop("music.mp3", NULL, 50); wait(-5); media_pause(music_handle); media_start(music_handle); Calling media_tune after media_start doesn't seem to make any difference. SB Audigy Audio [C8C0] Gamestudio Commercial 7.10 EDIT: This seems to be an issue solely with media_loop(), not media_pause or media_start. Try looping a short mp3 (5-10 seconds) and notice that the volume increases after the first loop. Last edited by Zelek; 10/12/08 00:08.

Here is the entire code: Code: #include <acknex.h> #include <default.c> function main() { level_load("TestProject.wmb"); var music_handle = media_loop("music.mp3", NULL, 50); wait(-5); media_pause(music_handle); media_start(music_handle); } As I noted above, if you have a short sound file, you don't even have to call pause/start - the volume will increase after the first loop finishes. It doesn't matter if it's .wav or .mp3.

Update: I could not confirm this problem with any sound card. Maybe it's caused by some background program running on your PC? Have you tried it on a different PC?
