Studio being permanently muted

[PlaceRebuilder]

The problem
When I play a sound in normal studio mode (not starting any servers nor playing locally) I get no sound at all. It’s been like this for a while (3 months+) but it’s really starting to become annoying.

Things I’ve tried

• I checked volume mixer
  Studio is on full volume but registers no output when I press play on Sound objects.
• I’ve clicked and unclicked the Mute button in studio
• Changed ‘Server Audio Behavior’ to Enabled and ‘Online Game’

None of these work.

Sounds works when I start up local servers, altho it’s always set to 0 on all clients.
No idea what else to try, this must be a bug right?

Is your actual in game volume more than 0? Audio in Studio is influenced by your in game volume.

My ingame volume was on 0. I changed it to 5, exit and rejoined and it was at 5.
Then I restarted studio but the sounds are still muted.

Still wierd how ingame volume would affect my studio volume?
For test-server clients I’d expect such behavior but for pure studio coding there’s no need of correlation imo.

Just to clarify, I get no sound when I press this button:

OHHH!!
I had to join by pressing this

Then go in settings, increase volume then press leave game.

Now I got volume back! Awesome!
Thanks @Kampfkarren

This is a known bug. You can support this thread here to have it use your desktop audio:

Ingame Audio Effects Studio Audio

For some reason the in-game audio volume option effects how loud volume is in studio which is bad because users often have roblox’s ingame volume set to either the lowest setting or muted due to loud audio. You should still be able to test audio in studio even if your volume in the roblox client is muted, and your client audio and studio audio should not pull from the same value.

It’s not necessarily a bug, we just need to make audio in Studio independent. In the meantime, the above is the solution.

I just got this issue, I figured out that my client volume is 0. But when I increased it, I still couldn’t hear the preview sound. So the client volume doesn’t affect the studio. I turned off an option in studio settings called “Only Play Audio from Window in Focus”, after that, I restarted the studio and the preview sound worked again.
