I'm experiencing two problems on Windows 7 64-bit. Both have been happening since the last few test versions.
1. After a few minutes of playing music, the volume suddenly drops to about 10%. The volume in MM stays the same, the master system volume stays the same, but when I check the Windows 7 Volume Mixer, I see that MM volume is set very low, relative to the other applications. I'm not even sure this is a MM problem, but I do know that MM is the only program giving me this problem. It seems to happen at the same time as my screen turning off to save power, but as far as I know Windows 7 has no power settings relating to volume...
-- EDIT: After some more tinkering I discovered the volume is lowered when the screen turns off, but only when Steam is running in the background. Unless anyone else can reproduce, I think this problem lies with Windows. --
2. I am aware this is no concern to the MM developers. However, the last 5 or so test versions throw an error when starting MM ("Error executing script event") when Monkeyflow is enabled. After clicking OK, both MM and Monkeyflow function fine. The older beta versions (about one month back I guess?) of MM4 never gave this error. The add-on is no longer maintained, but I know it's still used by a lot of people. I'm not sure what has been changed to the scripting engine to give this error, but maybe it would be possible to add an option to automatically ignore errors like these?
On a positive note, I do think MM4 is a great improvement and am looking forward to its final release!
