Unreal 5.6: Sounds disappearing in certain areas

I’m experiencing the strangest bug I’ve ever had in Unreal! After migrating my project from 5.5.4 to 5.6, I’m getting an unexplainable audio bug. In different areas of my map, some sounds just disappear — like footstep sounds or ambient audio. It’s as if there’s an invisible sphere, and as soon as you enter it, certain sounds vanish. But there’s nothing there, and how can sounds just stop playing like that? I checked — the footstep sounds are definitely being triggered, even when I try different functions, but still no sound. I’m usually comfortable with debugging, but this just makes no sense. Yet another bug to blame on Unreal 5.6.

Retransfer

make sure the code you used to play sounds has not changed

Check the sphere distance

Double check all the settings on sound falloff

Aliens say it’s Cmake glitch.

After hours of debugging, I found that the issue comes from Ultra Dynamic Sky, specifically from the 9.0 update. More precisely, it’s related to the DLWE_Interaction component and the initialization of sounds.

Hi !!! Nice video! We need to see how UE will work with the IA that will allow UE to upgrade by adding new option and a real stability in the device saving process. What i mean is , if a AI can upgrade graphics when UE will be able to upgrade to a stability and creating option process for creator? We need stability with devices in Fortnite for exemple we cannot create a multy floor elevator! Can the Unreal Engine Boss allow the dev to upgrade Unreal Engine and open opportunities to create new devices and make them work together in a stability process Please !!! We need realistick mechanics and other option in the Unreal Engine matrix!! Please share We need UE to be more assisted by a AI that can create options and ideas in Unreal Engine next gen 2026 ! We need a new Unreal Engine for console and PC ! Thanks Please Share those ideas we are getting bored with this UE version, our creation still limitated and too much bug in our Maps created in fortnite! We cant be paid if we working with an Unrel Engine that is still break!! Please change or upgrade it to fix all issues when we created . Every UE upgrade crush our old creations!!! We need a Fastest and stable Unreal Engine perfomance!!! sorry but in fortnite we cant make a lot of “device mover” work together when we place the on a prop to make it move how we want
