    Problem Description

    In Chrome (latest version), when a looped music file is playing, other non-looping, tagged audio files occasionally pause upon finishing, rather than fully stopping like they should.

    Attach a Capx

    Description of Capx

    The file plays a looped music audio file on start-up. Then, every tick, it checks if a tag is not being used, and then attempts to play a sound file with that particular tag.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Run in Chrome.
    • Hear beeping over piano music.
    • After a few seconds (can be anywhere from 1 to 30), the beeping stops.

    Observed Result

    The tagged audio sound file stops after a few seconds. Checking the audio debug menu at this point shows that the audio has paused at its last millisecond, and has not fully stopped; the tag has not been freed.

    Expected Result

    The tag ought to free up every time the sound file finishes, and as such the beeps ought to keep playing indefinitely.

  • I can't reproduce, it seems to keep playing indefinitely just fine here in Chrome. Perhaps try it in Chrome Canary in case it's a Chrome bug that has already been fixed?

  • I've been having something like that happen recently too.

    I have SFX say they are still playing but never release (see screenshot). "Repulse" is stuck (tagged) and both "land" and "boostcharge" are stuck even though they are not tagged.
