Hello, recently I switched from 4.8 to 4.10 and I have this problem. I just created a blueprint out of a Sound Wave and did this: ![66879-imag.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/4/1/c419a85727871cb43ea60f4aba0c6d763f8c3e54.png) Put the blueprint into the level, the sound seems to play fine in the play mode, but when I extract it into apk, in smartphones, it loops for 3 times, and then plays normally, like it’s stuck for a while. My Sound Wave configuration: ![66880-imag1.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/1/4/c14713522ff9a463de00311b5bd786fa9b16ee55.png) ![66891-imag2.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/3/b/63bcb200a4c3fa6d4d06f0216595942433cdf60f.png) What is the problem? ---

Hello Jim, This is a known and reported issue UE-21709, and we plan on having it fixed in an upcoming full engine release. Until that time, you can use a known workaround by adding a delay node in before calling your Audio component to play. Thank you for taking the time to report this issue, and let me know if you have further questions. Cheers, ---

how long should the delay be? Tried with 0.2 s but didn’t work. ---

Try using a longer delay like 2 or 3 seconds to see if that works. ---

tried with 2 and still doesn’t work… and besides that I need the sound to play immediately, can you recommend any other way of playing and stopping the sound? the reason I use Play Audio is because I can stop the audio afterwards. ---

I will try changing the Start Time, instead of putting a delay for the moment ---

Yeah, that workaround works better than the delay. Glad you got it to work. ---
