My sound works in the packaged game but nothing plays in editor. Even when I try to preview a sound in the content browser, when I click the play button nothing happens.
I am using version 4.21 on Windows and even when I check the Windows volume mixer Unreal Engine does not show up in the list with the other apps I have open.
I have made sure Real Time Audio is turned all the way up in settings and have enabled Real Time in the viewport.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Found the solution posted by gigahest here: No Sound in Editor or In Game - Pipeline & Plugins - Epic Developer Community Forums
Just a comment on this, I was getting a pop-up dialog in 2 completely different projects that read “Fatal Error!” whenever I would switch levels. Going into the log file I found that the fatal error was a result of an error in the AudioMixerRenderThread(1). Both of the projects were made with the engine version in which I used gigahest’s solution. After reversing the changes back to the default, I no longer received the Fatal Error messages.
