The actor with the sound is not in the home screen. The hero walks 2,000 pixels. When the hero arrives on the actor, and the actor appears on screen it should output the sound.
Really hard to say without seeing your exact code, sounds like there is an error in it for sure. I note you say 'the actor' twice, is that two different actors? If so which actor should be playing the sound?
But based on what you just described I'd do this instead:
Hero walks across screen and arrives on 'the actor' -
Make a Rule, when the hero collides with the actor play your sound and display 'the other actor' (if there is one)
I've looked at your project, here is what's going on:
Your sound actor is placed in the game (off screen technically, but in the game) at the start, that is why the sound is firing immediately.
If you want the sound to play only when the player character reaches the point of the "automatic sound now" spot you need to add a rule to the player to trigger the sound at that point. You could do this through a collision as I suggested above, of you could trigger it when you player reaches a certain X position.
But you can't set it off just by placing your sound actor in the game because as you can see, it fires as soon as the current sound actor is active, which is immediately.
Does the 'automatic sound now' actor serve any other purpose besides playing the sound? If not you won't need this actor at all. You would just play the sound from the behaviors in the player character.

Desmarquei "loop"
Desmarquei "run to completion"
Desmarquei "Positional sound"
Desmarquei "Velocity Shift"
I also tried with the options checked.
If I leave "Run to completion" marked. The sound is executed when the game starts.
I tested it last night and it worked as expected on my end. I can certainly give you the file if you need it but it should be very straight forward.

As the "second actor" appears on the screen, the "second actor" should make a sound.
How to do it?
I do not have to use "bump" because the "second actor" is at the top of the screen. They do not collide.
