Use some sound files that you have, with sounds of several seconds. Let us know which times you get with version 8.10 and 8.03.

ok, using 3 sounds from the template\sounds played 3 times

using script
Code:
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

function main(){
	SOUND* s = snd_create("aicarstart.wav");
	wait(1);
	dtimer();
	snd_play(s,100,0);
	printf("Time: %.3f ms",dtimer()/1000.);
}

aicarstart.wav
8.03 81.693, 71.648, 72.696
8.10 76.433, 76.986, 72.815

death.wav
8.03 72.460, 73.806, 72.087
8.10 72.410, 71.608, 73.551

earthquake.ogg
8.03 73.389, 75.272, 78.423
8.10 73.623, 72.811, 73.515


using script
Code:
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

function main(){
	SOUND* s = snd_create("earthquake.ogg");
	wait(1);
	dtimer();
	var h = snd_play(s,100,0);
	while(snd_playing(h)){ wait(1); }
	
	printf("Time: %.3f ms",dtimer()/1000.);
}

aicarstart
8.03 3470.388, 3469.319, 3469.138
8.10 3470.009, 3467.961, 3468.628

earthquake.ogg
8.03 7230.304, 7212.579, 7229.962
8.10 7229.771, 7229.408, 7230.942

These are 'now playing' as showing the delay on the timer which has highlighted another problem.

When using
Code:
#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\Resources\Sounds"
These get called using 8.03 but not 8.10. Having them in the same folder as the .c file acknowledges the files are playing (showing delay on the timer) but when in another folder using the above line skips the snd_playing function.

Still on sounds were heard at all in v8.10. Hope this sheds some more light on it?

No sounds were hurt in the testing of this bug. grin
