I was doing some improvements on my iCopter level (check it out in my sig), making a new game over animation instead of the helicopter simply being destroyed using a destroyer, when i realised that I couldn't hear any sound effects that I wanted to add. I can't even hear the default sound that is made when a explode destroyer is activated. The sound effects are set to 100% volume and are not on positional. The only problem I can think of is that there is a lot of logic in the level and that might be causing a problem somehow. Help?

I've had entire levels go silent before, and the sound has always come back when I quit and restart. Also, too many overlapping sounds effects can cancel each other out. This can work to your advantage when you want to cover up default sounds, but it's a problem when you try to layer sound effects. You can put several sound effects on a sequencer, offset by just a fraction of a second so that they overlap, but don't all start at the same time.

Quitting and restarting doesn't work, I notice it every time play the published level to try to get the high score. There were no sound effects in the level previously (apart from music).

i know of 2 major causes of this, 1, overabundance of logic(as you stated) and 2, and overabundance of emitters. Their is also a way you can cancel the sound out by using logic, their is a tool in the creators toolkit that does this, maybe by random chance you created the properties needed for the cancelation, that is my guess i can't be 100 percent, maybe look at all of your logic make sure their are no overlapping sound as pookachoo said and make sure you dont have a bazillion emitters lagging out the sound. aside from that it could just be a bad glitch, i notice this too sometimes, but when it happens to me it is always due to the first 2 options i stated.

An abundance of sound effects or music channels on a custom sequencer can also lead to sound whiteouts. Try disabling all music, either by global setting or physically disable the sequencers, in order to determine whether this is the case.

I've had this problem. Was due to an overabundance of logic/objects, plus custom music. Turning the custom music off seemed to do the trick.

Not using custom music, but the main structure of the level consists of two emitters both emitting 100 objects at once which might be the problem. I'll see if I can find a way to reduce the number of emitted objects and see if that makes a difference.

I found the source of the problem, and it's a real facepalmer. I'd accidentally put SFX to 0% in the global audio levels. Sorry for kinda wasting everybody's time
