Steam Big Picture takes input while in-game. This is not just sounds, but BPM is actually doing something in the background and can for example install or launch games. I have only tested with a steam controller. This problem is not limited to N++, it is just a lightweight game that is fast to restart. There seems to be no clear cut pattern, but there is a trend that if you do not press anything immediately at game start or if you open the configurator before inputting in-game actions, the bug might not happen.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start a game while Steam Controller is on
  2. Press the A button on the controller

Results

You should hear BPM in the background.

@kisak-valve I believe this can be closed. It's for the old BPM.
