Hi,

Unfortunately, there’s currently a known issue that causes FMOD Audio Components and events to not play properly in the sequencer. To identify whether this issue is affecting you or not, can I get the exact versions of FMOD Unreal and UE that you’re using?

Just to follow up on this - were you able to find a way to play from the sequencer timeline without issue? If not, could you please let me know which version of Unreal Engine and the FMOD Unreal integration you’re using?

I updated the plugin for unreal, removed these folders inside fmod\_project directory: .user .unsaved .cache  
Also removed unreal folders: project/ddc, intermediate, binaries  
Build FMOD banks: open FMOD project and press F7  
And my problem resolved.
