Sound does not play at all in a script, preview works fine

[Turned_Away]

Title says all, no errors in output, any help would be greatly appreciated!

	if Player.leaderstats["Stage"].Value < tonumber(part.Name) then
		script.Parent.VictorySound:Play()
		script.Parent.Sparkles1.Enabled = true -- Particles work fine, sound just doesn't play
		script.Parent.Sparkles2.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.Sparkles3.Enabled = true
		wait(1.5)
		script.Parent.Sparkles1.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Sparkles2.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Sparkles3.Enabled = false
	else

Have you tried to print out some things?( relevant)

• do you have more relevant code?

Also, a tip: use task.wait instead of wait( affects performance and efficiency)

Also, I see you have there 3 scripts. Kind of bad practice - have you tried to use 1 main script instead?

Try adding this to your script:

script.Parent.VictorySound.Playing = true

So that full script shows:

if Player.leaderstats["Stage"].Value < tonumber(part.Name) then
        script.Parent.VictorySound.Playing = true
		script.Parent.VictorySound:Play()
		script.Parent.Sparkles1.Enabled = true -- Particles work fine, sound just doesn't play
		script.Parent.Sparkles2.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.Sparkles3.Enabled = true
		wait(1.5)
		script.Parent.Sparkles1.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Sparkles2.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Sparkles3.Enabled = false
	else

What is the asset ID of the sound?

Not sure why but this seemed to fix my issue, I’ll look into it and try to provide an explanation

What makes the two different?

For some reason your sound:play is not loading the sound, but setting the sound.playing to true will load your sound.

I also think using sound.Loaded:Wait() will also accomplish this.
