It seems that there are a lot of posts regarding problems with audio in GameMaker. When will YoyoGames address these issues and make GameMaker audio-friendly?

Audio is a HUGE and ESSENTIAL part of making video games.

I want the next GM to have an under water effect for sound

In GM9 it will be over-hauled. You're just going to have to wait!

That is GREAT news!


EDIT:

Thanks, Mike! Don't quite get the 'pants' reference tho. I'm probably too old.

I've harped on them about them myself. If you have an urgent need, you can use one of the available extensions.

The Audio system will be totally scrapped and re-written in GM9. It's pants.

Good.

Btw, a bit off-topic: Will we be able to import our current projects into GM9?

I understand that it will take a while before GM9 is available. Can you please elaborate (or provide a link) on "available [audio] extensions" for GM:HTML5 games?

Interesting, does any of you know when gamemaker 9 could release?
And do I have to pay for it again?

[Mike.Dailly]

No date yet, and yes. Major update to a new version (not sub-version), so you'll need to buy again - or stay with GM8.x if your happy enough with it.

That's very irrelevant, but yes. Fact.

Well lol, i'm never happy with something outdated.
I will spare some money then.

A "new sound system" sounds ok, but what is exactly going to be improved?

Please, refrain from looking at the mirror then

Which mirror do you mean? The mirror of a site or the mirror that shows my face?

I have a good question. I've been doing my research and apparently the first GM Studio will be of version GM8.0+ something like that.

Question. Will we see an audio enhancement for that? As developing mobile phone games with a substandard audio function would be of not great quality.

Or...have YoyoGames done something to the Audio in GM Studio already to fix this?

[DZiW]

According to software cycling procedure the publisher releases his work ONLY when there's already an improvement ready as an update. Thus, they develop version 1.0, playtest it, find a bunch of errs, troubleshoot some of them, have new version updated as 1.1. release version 1.0 -- and now the cycle reiterates with higher version numbers

So, they must be ready to give a specific answer.

No, as it is based of GMK 8, there will be at best a small update for audio, nothing substantial. I don't have any evidence but what I know points to that.
