How do I Set Positional Audio first play?

Hi,

I'm using positional audio and the first thing I do is set the player as the listener. My player shoots objects that make an explosion sound that is played "at object".

The very first object that explodes is always silent..in fact, I can hear the very tail end of the explosion, so I know it plays. Then every one after is fine. I assume it takes some computing to figure out the position but isn't that what Set Listener supposed to do??

My work around was to fire a positional sound off at -20 volume somewhere really far away from the player (xypos:20000x20000) at the START of LAYOUT and this has totally fixed the issue... I'm just wondering if there's something else I am supposed to do to avoid this problem?

anyone else have this problem?

thanks..

Are you preloading the sound first?

blackhornet yes I tried putting it in all layout's (OnStartof Layout) just to be sure but has no effect...

my project uses an unbound layout.. and the player starts the level by appearing randomly inside of 1-3000x1-3000
