Hi, I’m running into a little issue.  
I can correctly run the VOIP Talker with custom attenuation settings (and occlusion etc).  
But we need to change the distance of the attenuation and other settings at runtime. For that I created several “Sound attenuation” versions and switch through them during runtime with a button press inside the Player Character. Unfortunately nothing changes at runtime. If I swap them in the editor it works, but not during runtime.  
So e.g. I load a attenuation with no Occlusion, it still occludes with the geometry.

Is there a trick to make UE change this at runtime?

I’m still trying to find a solution for this problem. Did you get any closer to a solution?

i still dont have a %100 solution yet but i did get the basics working.

i bought this asset  
[Voice Chat System (Global/Proximity/Team/Mute) in Blueprints - UE Marketplace (unrealengine.com)](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/simple-voice-chat-system)

this is on the voip component that comes with the asset and it gets called on a button press from my character blueprint

that is the multicast so the other clients know whats up

im not exactly sure if the asset is necessary. it may still work if you do the server and multicast events from whatever object owns the voip talker.
