Why PlaySound2D does work when press a key but not when the event is triggered?

[Ivan3z]

This is the UI code:

PlaySound2D does work when a key is pressed but not when the event is triggered.

Enyone knows why?

The widget is a component of the HUD class.

This is how the event is triggered (for test purposes only):

.h

UPROPERTY(ReplicatedUsing=NotifyToClientEvent)
bool bHealth=false;
UFUNCTION()
void NotifyToClientEvent();

.cpp

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void UHealthComponent::NotifyToClientEvent()
{
	if (OnHealthChangeClientEvent.IsBound())	
		OnHealthChangeClientEvent.Broadcast( GetHealthValue() );	
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void UHealthComponent::OnTakeAnyDamage(
	AActor* DamagedActor, float Damage, const class UDamageType* DamageType,
	class AController* InstigatedBy, AActor* DamageCauser)
{

	bHealth = !bHealth;
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any idea?
Thank you so much!!

you have an Is valid condition and 3 Ifs. have you tried to print something on false results and at the beginning of the event to find out where is failing?

Hi
Yes, I have this checks… all they are valid in all cases

I added this too (As you said)… but it seem the logic is fine. It does works… but no sound is played.

The event is executed in all cases too… It can be seen in visual debugger (in the video).

Thanks for your help

HI @eldany.uy

I think we fund the problem

I need help to fix an audio problem (UserWidget)

Can you try to set “AllowBackgroundAudio” to true in the editor settings? It is disabled by default - and I think that is why you are not hearing any sound (because the second PIE window has no user focus and thus is in the background) [image] Let me know if this fixes it

Unfortunately the solution seem to be bugged

I think "Allow Background Audio" is not working

I opened a thread on the forum because the audio doesn’t seem to work in a specific situation. You can see all details here: A user gave me a solution: ENABLE: “Level Editor/Miscellaneous/Allow Background Audio” But that option doesn’t seem to work (See Video Attached Here). I think the user is right, and seem that option doesn’t work like he says it should. In any case i cannot test the audio correctly. If it is a bug, please fix it. And if you know a console command to enable …

Anyway i want thank you for your help!!
