i have musicplayer inside player controller, after servertravel correct volume and song will be printed but for some reason the music does not play. this works with regular open level command but not with servertravel.

Hey kmssn,

try your musicplayer through GameInstance instead of the player controller. GameInstance’s data is persistent when changing levels/game modes/etc. Compared to the player controller where the data will be reset.

If you want to read a little bit more into the functionality of GameInstance, you can do so [here](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Game_Instance,_Custom_Game_Instance_For_Inter-Level_Persistent_Data_Storage) and [here](https://api.unrealengine.com/INT/API/Runtime/Engine/Engine/UGameInstance/index.html).

Let me know if this helps!
