Can 3 linked Obj listen on same channel for sound on/off

[AdamZadig]

My setup
I have a script that sends out a "chat command" on channel "-123". 
I have 3 objects each with a script inside that plays a sound when "chat command" on channel :-123" is given.
When unlinked it works fine. As soon as I link all 4 objects to my main build, it only plays the sound from one of the objects. 
The objects are placed apart to make the sound feel like its coming from all around you, not just one location. 

 

Any ideas why when linked only one Object reacts to the command and plays the sound?

UPDATE: They don't all play even when unlinked.

Are they all within chat range?  If not, use llRegionSay  (or use llRegionSay anyway ... )

if they're all playing the same sound, you probably want to use LlPlaySoundSlave() even though that function is a bit weird.

It was the distance. I brought them closer and they all worked! THANK YOU!

just a quick follow-on issue: I have a megasphere.  It is so large that I can be standing inside of it, and it is too far away to hear my chat commands.  

What it comes down to is that I need to be within 20m of the center of it.

In the OP's case, however, a script is sending the trigger message. It is not restricted to a 20m radius because it can use llRegionSay, which can be heard anywhere in the region, regardless of distance.
