When I make a UMG Animation and add an audio track, the audio plays in the animation timeline editor but it does not play in-game.

edit: Correction – it does not work when playing in editor. However, it works fine when running on a standalone window. Also another bug is that the animation is not playing the most updated version of the animation in PIE but it plays the correct updated version in standalone.

Hello e Zinc,

After doing a bit of digging I was able to find that this is a known issue (UE-31299) and that it has been reported to the developers for further consideration. I will provide updates with any pertinent information as it becomes available. Thank you for your time and information.

Make it a great day

As of 4.17.1, this does not work. You might want to check out this issue again. It could be a regression…

Hello PlatinumBlade,

I ran through the report provided and it was working as expected. The issue that you are experiencing may be a separate issue. You will need to create a new thread for tracking purposes. You can then post a link to the thread in a reply so that someone can follow up.

Make it a great day

I confirm that in 4.17.1 issue still exists (if game paused)
