If I remember correctly,

If a MIAW is opened or closed, any sounds playing in channels 3-8 
(playing either in the MIAW or in the Stage) will be terminated.

Definitely a major annoyance that has been there since at least Director 7.

1 workaround: use channels 1 or 2 for background sounds that might be 
playing while windows are opened/closed.

another workaround: if a high channel (3-8) is being used to play a 
sound, grab it's currentTime & then tell the Stage to quickly fade 
out this high channel while fading in the same sound at the same 
currentTime into channel 1 or 2 & then do the window manipulation.

I know it's ugly, but it might work (I've never really tried it).
