Sounds from notifies in animation montage won't overlap

[Maciek_Leto]

As in the video attached, you can see that there are 3 sound notifies:

1. Firing
2. Pulling the forend
3. Pushing the forend

Until 00:04 the sounds play correct.
But from 00:05 the “firing” sound is played only until the “Pulling the forend” starts playing.
Reopening the anim montage makes the sounds play correct at first but then they break again.
During PIE the shotgun has the clipped firing sound from the beginning on. How to fix it?

P.S.
During slow-mo the sounds are triggered and played without time dilation. How could I make the sound notifiers account for the time dilation?

Solution:
UE has only 32 slots for audio sounds to play simultaneously.
In my 3 sound notifies:

• Firing
• Pulling the forend
• Pushing the forend

I used Metasounds which start playing on the Notify and every time take 1 of the 32 audio slots.

Meaning every time a Notify triggers an SFX to play, 1 additional sound slot is being used, until it reaches the maximum amount of 32 sound slots. Then the sounds start to disappear.

I allocated 2 sounds slots for the shot SFX.
1 slot for pull SFX and 1 slot for push SFX.
I added the logic for this in ABP for the individual weapons and a general logic in C++ for all weapons.
Once I equip my weapon, X amount of audio slots (audio components) are spawned for the particular gun SFXs.
An SFX that plays has a maximum lifetime of up to 2 seconds. Then I stop it, so it does not take CPU resources.

I used this console command to figure it out:
au.debug.soundwaves 1

Somehow, for me, it only works after I detach from my player with F8 and then quickly type it in.

Audio Randomly Cuts Out

Hi all, I’m new to Unreal and Metasounds, I think I’ve done everything right with the set up of spatialised loops, reverb zones and footstep sounds. But upon playing, each element slowly stops working. E.G: 3D sea-wave sounds start out working, I walk towards them and the attenuation works but after about 30 seconds of walking around the coastline - they suddenly cut out mid-sound and refuse to play again even though they are looped and placed around the map. This then snowballs to other sound…

Sound effects missing

There is a lot of small sound effects in my game. After hundreds of sound played in one second, sounds play no more, just like some one mute sound volume, any know how to fix?

Some sounds cuts randomly

Hello everyone, I’m using UE 5.1 and I have a strange problem with my project. In every map that contains a NavMesh Volume, after a random period of time, some sounds stop working including the background music and some “spawn sound 2D” trigger by actors in the level. Some other actors have Cues attached with an attenuation setting and continue to work perfectly. I noticed that the background music respawn sometimes but cuts itself again after 3-4 seconds. The problem is showing up only on …
