[Android] Setting sound volume to 0 not muting

Hi,

I’ve tried muting sounds with SoundClass->Properties.Volume = 0.f; and pushing a sound mixer that sets volume to 0 on the Master sound class, and it works fine on PC and iOS, but not on Android (Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab, etc).

I can still hear the sounds if I put the device sound settings at maximum volume.

Hey rvc,

Would you mind providing me with some steps to reproduce this issue on my end. How/where are you calling the master volume set to 0?

Thank you,

Hey,

Either by using a SoundMixer on blueprint (a umg button that will call PushSoundMixModifier).

Or a umg button that calls a c++ function to AMyGameMode, which has:

UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Game)
TArray<class USoundClass*> OptionsSoundClasses;

Then iterates through that array and does SoundClass->Properties.Volume = 0.f

Then increase the volume on the device to the maximum, and we can still barely hear it.

Using 4.7.5 btw.

Thanks.

Take a look at this post that is dealing with a similar issue. You could be calling the incorrect SoundClass to mute. Try editing the MasterSound class which controls all of the volumes instead of the SoundMixModifier.

Let me know if this post had the correct solution.
