4.13 Audio Spatialization problem

I have just converted my project from 4.12 to 4.13 and have a weird audio spatialization problem.

I have 5 audio components around the room which play my audio track. in 4.12 they played continually even if I was not in range to hear the audio component. this was what I wanted so that they all played the song in unison.

When I converted to 4.13 each component seems to stop playing its audio cue when I’m not in range to hear it and then starts from the start of the sound cue when I come back into range. there for when I’m in range of multiple audio components within the blueprint they are all playing the music from different points along the track. it sounds terrible.

I’ve probably just missed a check box somewhere. here is a screen shot of my blueprint:

any help apriciated
tnx

I have the same issue, I’d like to see what the solution is! I was able to workaround by setting up my blueprints to set the volume to just very low and not 0, like 0.01 or something when out of range.

We made playing at 0-volume opt-in for 4.13. I’ll see if I can add this to release notes post-release. It was a decision made last minute due to performance issues we noticed due to decoding many silent sounds. To recover the old behavior, just make sure your sound waves that you want to continue playing even at 0-volume have the bVirtualizeWhenSilent check. Eventually (hopefully soon) this will enable real virtual voices. Right now, it just doesn’t stop the sound when it gets to 0-volume.
