Hi all, I don’t know if i’m doing something wildly stupid here. I have a sound class SC\_Weapons hooked up to a default SC\_Main class and a simple oneshot metasound linked to SC\_Weapons. Super simple setup. Left-click mouse button \> play oneshot.

Now I tried playing the sound through SC\_Weapons standalone before connecting it to SC\_Main, and everything worked fine. I could mute and solo as expected. After connecting them however, the mute button doesn’t do anything and the solo button mutes everything. It does this for both SC\_Weapons and SC\_Main. The weird thing is that the volume, pitch etc. sliders work completely fine.

I’m not sure if there’s some core concept i’ve misunderstood about how classes work; it seems to just be the mute/solo buttons that are having issues. I thought myabe there was a quirk that meant if you solo a child class it mutes the parent (and therefore the child you soloed gets muted), but it doesn’t explain why the mute button does nothing either.
