Inconsistent Sound Playback in Roblox Studio and Experience

[Diamond_tree1234567 (MoonDev)]

Hey everyone,
I’m encountering a strange and frustrating issue with sound playback in Roblox Studio and my experience. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening:

The Issue:

I have a Music folder in workspace containing all the sounds I want to play. Sometimes, the sounds do play when testing in Studio, but never when running the actual experience. Here’s the kicker:

• When I manually click and play the sounds using Studio, they play and I can hear the music.
• When running the game(either Experience or Studio), I get errors like this:

Failed to load sound rbxassetid://0: Request asset was not found (x5)  -  Studio

This happens repeatedly with multiple lines, indicating that the asset isn’t loading or doesn’t exist.
Looking at the error line I see rbxassetid://0 which confuses me because I dont have any song in the music folder that does not have an assetid.

I even wrote a validation script to check each sound’s asset ID:

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')
local sounds = workspace:WaitForChild('Music')
local songsInvalid = {}
local songsValid = {}

local function ValidateSong(songID) 
    if not songID or not tonumber(songID) then return false end

    local success, result = pcall(function()
        return MarketPlaceService:GetProductInfo(songID)
    end)

    if success and result then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

for _, song in pairs(sounds:GetChildren()) do
    task.spawn(function()
        if not ValidateSong(song.SoundId) then
            table.insert(songsInvalid, song.Name)
        else
            table.insert(songsValid, song.Name)
        end
    end)
end

print("Valid songs: ", table.concat(songsValid, ', '))
print("Invalid songs: ", table.concat(songsInvalid, ', '))

• Output:
  • songsValid prints an empty string.
  • songsInvalid lists all the sounds, even though some sounds do play occasionally in Studio.

What Confuses Me:

• Why do the sounds sometimes work in Studio but never in the experience?
• If the asset IDs were truly invalid, they shouldn’t work at all, right? So why can I play them manually?

What I’ve Tried:

• Double-checking all SoundId values to ensure they’re properly formatted (rbxassetid://<ID>).

• The Assets are not owned by me, but even if they were private, howcome I can still play them manually but not in experience?

• Using the script above to validate assets, which suggests they’re all invalid, even though some play.

• Has anyone else encountered this type of inconsistent sound playback?

• I believe this has to do with ownership but from what I understand, all sounds that can be played in Studio should be able to be played in the Experience!

I’d really appreciate any insights or suggestions! Thanks in advance.

Hey, are these audios all yours or uploaded by Roblox? Any audio that isnt either of those you wont be allowed to play in your Experience. edit: just saw you said they’re not yours, yea that should be the issue, for some reason Roblox will allow some audios not owned by you to be played in the studio but you won’t be able to use them in-game.
