MetaSound audio preview in animation window

Development Character & Animation

Hi all,

I am lining up a few sounds on a notify track on an animation. For some reason I get audio preview when using the sound file as source, but when I use a metasound source I don’t hear any preview, either when scrubbing or simple playback.

I have checked that the sound is playing in metasound source file, it is a fairly simple setup, mono output, random float on pitch, screenshot atttaced.

Any ideas? Is there a setting to turn off/on audio preview for metasound sources in an animation notify track?

Best wishes,

I just wanted to reply because I was dealing with what sounds like the same issue and stumbled upon this thread before finding a “solution” that worked for me. My fix? Clicking in the animation window and moving the camera around. In my case, the metasound I was playing had an attenuation class on it.

My theory is that the animation preview window probably initializes with some default location that is potentially out of range.
