Oh, LEGO and your audio bugs. You just can't keep them away from Alpha Team, can you?

When you play the online LEGO Alpha Team: Mission Deep Freeze games, you might notice that the in-game audio sounds rather compressed. However, if you die and continue, the audio is decompressed. This glitch applies to "The Drones' Menace" and "Ogel's Fortress", but not to "The First Encounter" (in which the audio is decompressed from the start). While I did not showcase it in this video, the music that plays inside Ogel's bases is also affected by this bug, sounding much higher quality after you die.

As far as I can tell, this bug does not apply to the LEGO Dino Attack game from the same company.

Uploading this just because I don't think it's ever been noticed or documented before. I only just noticed it myself while fooling around with the game and noticing a distinct difference in audio quality after dying and continuing.

And yes, I'm playing poorly on purpose here. My goal was to make sure you can distinctly and clearly hear each sound effect (Alpha Team laser, laser hitting target, Alpha Mode music, battle music, Snow Crawler laser, Ice Orb detected, battery collected) before and after getting a game over. Good gameplay is not a priority when you're doing that. If you're wondering about the pause/unpause spamming near the end, I was trying to cancel out the music (it works in Ogel's bases, but not in the overworld, apparently).

I'm also not sure why the game was lagging at certain points. It only does that when I'm recording. It plays just fine as long as I don't have Fraps running.
