Hi,
I have a single group sound effect, I just dropped it into the group creator and set it to 2D always.
I then created a uGUI Button Click event on my object and it always plays the sound first time I click the button. However subsequent times it is random whether or not this will play the SFX (I would guess 1 in 4).
I also tried this with several other custom event and it has the same behavior. I am sure something simple is done incorrectly, but I cannot find it.
I am hoping you can suggest something that would cause this issue..
Thanks
Da Voodoochief

My guess is you only assigned 1 Voice to the SFX and it's busy the other 3 times you try to play it. Increase the Voices (Weight) field of the Variation to 4 and see if that fixes it.
Also, turn on Log Sounds in Advanced Settings and it will log to the Console to tell you why it didn't work (busy, etc)

Hi Dev, Thank you for a great response as usual. I did up the number of voices to 4 and now I get it to play a lot more. I also turned on the console tracking (debug log) and reading it brings up some questions for me. I have looked through the docs, but cannot seem to find the answers I am looking for.  That image above shows the report I get while clicking the button in my game. Oddly it appears to reference values that are outside the 4 voices range (like the 4, 5 and 6). If these are indices then I am confused as to why it want to go this high as the SFX I am using is very small and I clicked the button quite slowly. Secondly the 'silence' child that is mentioned is also confusing as although I have not set this up, I did not realize it was required or used unless I want to stop a SFX playing etc. Could you clarify, or link me the help page for this item? Thanks Da Voodoochief |

Hi Dev,
I just got to playing with this and that 'Silence' line still confused me, so looking at my sound group I realized that silence is part of it. so I deleted it.. and now my SFX plays every time!!!
I will take more notice of this now. I appear to be all good until my next issue, which hopefully won't disturb you soon.
Thanks very much again for your awesome support.

If you have "silence" then you used a Sound Group template such as "25% chance play" when you created the group. I would go select a different one, it is right above where you drag clips in on the mixer.
