If you're getting the "Deactivated" sound as soon as you start GPL, then the program itself was running so it isn't a Visual Basic issue.
The only time we testers saw this issue was when GEM+ was used to start GPL. If the GPL .exe was started directly, then TrackSounds worked OK. Apparently, that doesn't work for you.
Probably most or our testers, including me, are still using Windows 7 so we don't have a way to troubleshoot Windows 10.
