For some reason, a couple of sound cues that I made are called at startup when I launch the play mode in the editor. These sounds are found in some of my blueprints but they are tied to event like the jump of my character or a item picked up. Yet I have no idea why they’re all called à once when I start play. ---

I love you, it was driving me crazy! I can’t understand why that option is on by default…
