From GMpedia.org Wiki

Sounds are a type of resource in Game Maker. The following sound formats can be used in Game Maker:

• Wave Files (.wav)

Game Maker has built-in functions to play and stop sounds, to set sound volume and panning and functions to add effects to a sound.

There are 4 types of sounds:

• Normal sound: can be a wave file or a midi file
• Background music: should be a midi file
• 3D sound: should be a wave file
• Multimedia Player Sound: can be any sound format, but it can only be played if the computer's multimedia player is capable of playing this sound format.
