Hi YanYuHongChen,

When you say playing a movie do you mean that you are trying to record (from Matinee) or are you playing in Stand-alone Mode?

If you are in Stand-alone Mode or making a movie you should be able to hit the ~ key to pull up your Console Command and type Quit to exit that mode. You should also be able to close the window from the Taskbar or from inside Task Manager.

Is this movie part of your game?

Or are you trying to play a movie in a different program while the editor is running?

Are you using one of our Content Examples or a personal project?

Just to make sure I have your steps down correctly.

  1. Start the editor and load the Project.
  2. Hit Play to play your game.
  3. The opening Cinematic movie starts to play.
  4. Close the editor in the Task Bar.

Result: The sound will continue to play.

Also, are you using a PC or a Mac?

I haven’t been able to reproduce your issue yet.

Could you post a copy of you dxdiag? You can find it by typing dxdiag into the Windows Start search area.

Could you also try to reproduce this in another project? I am using the Stylized Demo.

When using Windows 7, once the movie starts to play I have to hit the Windows button or Alt+Tab to access the Start Menu. Once I do the sound stops because I’m technically no longer in the program. If I do close the Standalone Game and go back to UE4 I don’t here any sound playing.
