In-Game: audio_sound_loop_start()/..._end() result in "Error: Audio asset did not have a valid duration" in 2024.100 runtimes

[gm-bug-reporter]

Description

Setting up looppoint start and end points with audio_sound_loop_start and audio_sound_loop_end prints "Error: Audio asset did not have a valid duration" for both calls, and simply doesn't work.
Attached one of audio test projects that was once attached by Dan to other audio issue thread on this Github.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Load the attached project.
2. Change values in obj_run's Create Event in both audio_sound_loop_start and audio_sound_loop_end functions.
3. Run the project and observe the looppoint not working, and the output printing
   "Error: Audio asset did not have a valid duration".

Several of us are not reproducing any issue in that Beta version/slightly newer internal builds. Looks to have been fixed already?

If definitely not fixed for you, when you say in step 2 "Change values in obj_run's Create Event in both audio_sound_loop_start and audio_sound_loop_end functions." what exact values are you changing them to?

Does cleaning the cache help here? Audio asset durations are cached so perhaps yours has ended up in an odd state.

Is there any chance you might have edited snd_1.xml from the cache (or some other cached file) or had it open elsewhere before attempting to run the game?
