      Also, I hope you are able to fix the crash... while I am testing the game, hyperpad would occasionally crash. I was just testing a single level and there it goes crashing.

        @davio Already did. When I tap the link above, it says, "this beta is not accepting any testers something."

                  Also, I'd like to inform you @hamed that in the present hyperpad version, play music does not work well with play sound behaviors and other play music behaviors found inside an overlay. In my case, the play music behavior in my scene "does not return and resume playing like it used to" when a pop up overlay with its own play music behavior is invoked. What happens is that, whatever music is playing in that overlay as play music behavior, continues to play on the scene even when the overlay is already closed. My "patch-up" solution right now, is to literally and physically drag a music icon outside the overlay space. Outside where it cannot be easily controlled along with other behaviors. Please. Look into this as well. Hyperpad's sound behavior was pretty damaged after the last two updates. Makes me wonder why you changed the sound engine and caused me a lot of trouble on my project. I have deadlines and at this rate, if your upcoming update is still going to make things worst especially on both play music and play sound behaviors, I may not be able to have this game rated by my jurors and hence, forfeit graduating this March 2019. All thanks to botched up music behaviors in the game.

                    And before any of you tells me that it's "just" music behaviors, try playing a game without any. Or one where it doesn't work well. And see how it affects your gameplay and the overall assessment of the game in my case. My jurors will think that hyperpad is crap and instead of persuading them to take it seriously as a creation software and help me recommend it with their stamp of approval to countless teachers in the academe, I'd lose that opportunity for good.

                      Because it’s better for the future of hyperPad and is actuallcy better. There are currently some growing pains, but we’re working on ironing out the last few bugs with it.

                        @murtaza I fully understand. I just hope it works just as good as the last sound engine did. Got to believe in you guys. But please, do your best to iron this out asap. I wish time is on my side right now. But I can only do so much given how slim my time is at the moment. Still have to write the rest of my paper and fixing this game is already taking quite a toll on my time at the moment. Can you please let me access the current beta app? @hamed has not fixed the link he posted here to let me join.

                                @hamed Ok, so after downloading the latest build, I tried the test project again. It seems to work a lot better, but Play Music appears to have a much higher maximum volume than Play Sound. I played them both at 100 volume, they both sounded the same even when played at the same time, but when I tried playing both at 1000, Play Music was much louder and Play Sound seemed to be unchanged. I think they still have different scaling to each other, playing both at volume 20 causes Play Music to be much quieter while Play Sound is still unchanged from when it was 100.

                                    @aries29 sent it to the one thats in your profile.
                                    On apples side it says invite sent. Check your junk mail maybe? It would be coming from apple testflight, not hyperpad.

                                        Aries, I resent the invite since it didn't show it being installed/accepted.
                                        Also try the link again if you're not getting any email as others have reported that the link is working for them.

                                          @aidan-oxley Play Music and Play Sound work slightly differently. Play sound has a maximum of about 230 whereas Play music can go higher. The reason for this is because Sound Effects are converted into Midi in the new audio library we're using. And the volume on midi goes from -90 decibels to 12 decibels. We had to convert this into loudness using the formulas here: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-loudness.htm. So it's going to be slightly off, but good enough in most situations.

                                            @hamed Play Sound appears to max out at a value of 20 (or perhaps it was 23 because of 230 with no 0?).
