Hi. Everytime I run maplestory, it kills my sound on all other programs and freezes them until I close maplestory. Would love to watch youtube while playing but it freezes and stutters at the same spot until resetting. Curious to know if it's a windows issue or something else.

    Are you by any chance launching through Steam?
    Steam has been having sound issues with all games caused by the microphone, causing stuttering, skipping, and no sound entirely. It can be fixed by entering your sound settings (right click on the volume icon on the lower-right of your system tray and select "Sounds"), then disabling the microphone.

    Otherwise, I'm able to listen to YouTube just fine through Chrome.

    I was initially running it through steam but I downloaded the standalone and it's giving me the same issue as the steam download. The game runs perfectly fine, it's every application outside of MS that's breaking as soon as I run MS.
