Audio not working on 4.7

Hi, I’ve got the Unreal Engine 4.7 source from GitHub, but the audio isn’t working. Why?

Thanks, but is it working in the promoted branch?

The [Platform]Engine.ini is not being processed due to a bug. This is causing the audio module to not be loaded. I posted a fix in the bug report labeled:

4.7 Several project templates not fully working on Linux

There hasn’t been response from the Epic team on this so I’m not sure when it will make it into the 4.7 code-base.
Hope this helps.

I just checked the code on the promoted branch and the bug I reported exist there. However, please note that my debugging was done on Linux and perhaps the GetSourceIniHierarchyFilenames function is called differently for other platforms.I guess other platforms may initialize the audio differently, IDK. I will check on that later today. What platform are you using? Do you see the audio initialize in the console output?

I do know that on Linux, the [Audio] section of the LinuxEngine.ini is never loaded due to the reasons I reported. However what your seeing could be a bug specific to the platform you using.

I have the promoted branch on my atm. It is having the same issue.

Hey everyone-

Thanks for reporting this issue. This bug has already been addressed internally and will be fixed in a future update to the engine.

Cheers
