This function returns a string containing the name of the given audio group for displaying or checking.
When you define an audio group in the Audio Groups window, you give it a unique name which GameMaker turns into a constant to use as an ID value for the group. This function takes this ID and returns a string of the ID name you gave.
NOTE The default audio group is audiogroup_default.
audio_group_name(groupID);
