Media Player in UMG – no audio?

I’m trying to play a video in UMG, and getting video but no audio playing.

Here are my steps:

  1. Import video as File Source
  2. Create new Media Player and associated Media Sound Wave and Media Texture
  3. When I open up the Media Player, and then double click on the File Source in the bottom left it opens up and plays fine with video and audio at this point.
  4. I created a UMG Widget
  5. In the widget, I added an Image, and set the Brush to be the Media Texture (this is how I did it in versions prior to 4.13)
  6. In the Widget BP I did ‘Open Source’ for the Media Player.
  7. In the Level BP, I added the widget to the viewport

This all works fine for the video to play in a UMG widget, but I am getting no audio. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I’d post the question again as “How to play sound wave assets in UMG”. I think we have documentation for that somewhere, but I can’t find it right now.
