I made a simple BP in UE where I can specify banks to load on different levels. But unfortunately the FMODAmbientSound actors with auto play wont produce any sounds when pressing play in editor.  
Any solution for it?

Are you getting any warnings or errors in the console?

No errors  
It seems, that the play function of these actors is getting called before the bank loads.

It sounds like it could be that blueprints are serialized from disk before any plugins are loaded.  
There is a workaround in our docs that should help: [FMOD - User Guide (loading blueprints before plugin load)](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-ue4?version=2.1&page=user-guide.html#loading-blueprints-before-plugin-load)
