I want to play three shuffled voice clips through Unreal’s Animation Notify every time a character jumps. However, after creating a multi-instrument and dragging the audio from the Audio Table into it, no sound is played. Can the audio from the Audio Table only be played through a programmer instrument? then How can I play the audio from the Audio Table using Animation Notify? I’d like to know the method. ---

Hi, Thank you for the images. When working with programmer instruments, they need a key to know which audio file to play. I will suggest having a look at our programmer example included with the FMOD Engine: `"C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Studio API Windows\api\studio\examples\programmer_sound.cpp"` We also have an example using programmer instruments in Unreal here: [Unreal Integration | User Guide - Programmer Sounds via Audio Tables](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/user-guide.html#programmer-sounds-via-audio-tables) To trigger a different audio file each time, you would randomize the key that is passed to the programmer instrument. Hope this helps! ---

I have gone through numerous videos and sample projects, but I still don’t fully understand FMOD’s Audio Table. Yesterday, I got access to the entire FMOD project of the game _War Thunder_ and analyzed it. However, this game also does not use FMOD’s Locale or Audio Table; instead, it manually creates thousands of multilingual voice events. I have a few simple questions: 1. When I drag an Audio Table sound (key) onto the timeline, a Programmer Instrument is created, but when I play it in FMOD, no sound is heard, and no waveform is displayed. Is this the expected behavior? 2. Could you provide a sample project that includes an Audio Table with some voice files and a working instrument event? If not, please let me know the correct node in Blueprints that can play a key **vo\_jump** or a Programmer Instrument. Please help me!! I don’t want to manually create thousands of multilingual voice events. ---

I don’t think I can go this far. [ADX2 Tutorial 27 - Dialogue localization](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8lGbcZv18E) The above is a multilingual voice tutorial for ADX2 middleware, which is widely used in Japan. It’s intuitive and easy to understand right away. However, I’m not sure how FMOD handles multilingual voice processing. ---

Thank you for the inforamtion > [@woong\_thg](#): > > When I drag an Audio Table sound (key) onto the timeline, a Programmer Instrument is created, but when I play it in FMOD, no sound is heard, and no waveform is displayed. Is this the expected behavior? That is a placeholder audio file: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/f/f1e7ae778656e64d465fcf3fb8bffd19b4676098.png) So it will not be heard when played in FMOD Engine. > [@woong\_thg](#): > > Could you provide a sample project that includes an Audio Table with some voice files and a working instrument event? If not, please let me know the correct node in Blueprints that can play a key **vo\_jump** or a Programmer Instrument. I will use the example FMOD project that is included with the studio download: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/4/450e989b7ede4a8778f8250b9e4ff6d2bc8d8256.png) I am using the Dialogue event: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/c/c948bb908641bb2ccdb0e7a242321e184b38f1e6.png) I have built the banks into my UE project: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/6/60959b38db48971a564f3e7df62a249cc84974cf.png) I have then created an BP actor class to trigger the event and set the programmer instrument key: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/a/a14aa3418db599300adf8b9361ffaa295f326b12.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/3/3afbeb5c1dc5b1e229c8636e1ff08bad619fb0e9.png) This will play any of the 3 goodbye audio files depending on which dialogue banks is loaded. Hope this helps! ---
