Setting the volume in Roblox's client mutes sound previewing in studio!

Setting the volume in Roblox’s client mutes sound previewing in studio!

Set volume in settings menu in Roblox to 0
Try to preview a sound. You’ll hear nothing.
Expected result: Preview works, volume on client does not affect this.
Actual result: No audio plays, and I’m not sure why.

Current work around:

As a Roblox developer, fixing this would be good, because now I could consistently preview audio.

I just had this problem and it was driving me crazy! I couldn’t figure out why my audio wasn’t playing at all (in a baseplate project no less). Thanks for pointing this bug out!

This has been a very long standing bug, and I’m not sure why this hasn’t been fixed yet. It’s very annoying and needs to be fixed.

So THATS why that was happening! Thanks Quenty!

I can confirm this happening.
I’ve been having this bug basically ever since I started developing, but I always thought it was an intentional feature.

[color=#54a452]I can confirm this issue.[/color]

I’ve been experiencing this for a while now, this happens with both sound, graphics and pretty much all game settings.

When I met this error for the first time, I was very scared. I thought that the speakers were faulty or the sound driver * flew off *. This error has existed for a very long time, although everyone forgot about it …

I’m guessing it’s because, as far as I know, no one has submitted it! That’s why it is important to file bugs!

Looks like staff is already aware:

Oh my gosh, I’m SO bad at finding these threads. I’m so sorry!

I can confirm that this is still a problem.

Preview actually broke for me, I had to run my game and run :Play() on sounds.

DevSersponge · March 8, 2022, 3:03pm

Bug confirmed.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my sound wasn’t working, i hope roblox fixes this asap.

As of 3/16/2022 @ 7:00 EST this problem persists. Its been almost 2 years and this still happens

This is still broken and I can’t figure out how to get audio working in Studio again. There is no logical reason why Studio should mute itself like this.
