Audio won't play when trigger is added

If I add a trigger to an audio clip, it won't play. Did all the steps as described in the "how to loop audio" instructions, but as soon as I add a trigger it disables the playback. If I remove the triggers it'll play. When I right click to preview it or open in edit audio, I can play and hear the music. Has anyone had this happen?

  • I have a similar problem. My file has an audio file with 3 triggers. One to pause it, one to stop it and one to play. When I replace the audio file & reassign the 3 triggers, the audio no longer plays. 

  • One thing you could do it you want the audio to not fade in and out:

    Create two versions of the clip. 

    Version 1: is intro so it fades in, but cut it at the end on a beat so it doesn't fade.

    Version 2: cut the fade in and fade out. 

    Have version 2 do the looping and it will be a little more seamless.

    So weird..... I previewed before I sent and it was silent. Obviously something on my end. Thanks for checking!

  • It's playing fine for me and looping as you have it set. The trigger is working as it should.

    Yes, and thanks! Uploaded the scene I'm having trouble with. I have 2 triggers, one on the slide to play media after 1.25 secs, and another on the audio file to play after media completes so that it loops. I'm betting I've made a simple mistake, I just can't see what it is.

  • Can you show the file/slide or at least something we can see to see how you set up the triggers?
