Simple Sound Manager (Unity Tutorial)

Really nice tutorial and exactly what I was looking for. One question – is there really no more efficient way in Unity/C# to find the AudioClip than looping through the array? I know it's only a small array but anything with O(n) complexity makes me uncomfortable!

Stopped the video at 1:52, 3 lines and the code is already gore, i can't believe a professional gamedev spread bad codings practices like that

I have noticed for my ui button sometime the click sound is playing twice some time like normal just one time sometime not playing at all. What is the problem? may be the scene loads fast that the sound is not playing. Can you tell how to fix this

Hello, I want to know how can we loop an Audio clip when the player is hitting a collider, if you have an idea of how can we do this using your script, I am very interested to hear your answer! Thank you for your reply!

How do you save the sound to PlayerPrefs to be accessed in a different script? I already have my audio manager written for my sliders, but cannot seem to transfer the playerprefs for my sound effects. Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.UI;

public class AudioManager : MonoBehaviour

{

private static readonly string FirstPlay = "FirstPlay";

private static readonly string BackgroundPref = "BackgroundPref";

private static readonly string SoundEffectsPref = "SoundEffectsPref";

private int firstPlayInt;

public Slider backgroundSlider, soundEffectsSlider;

private float backgroundFloat, soundEffectsFloat;

public AudioSource backgroundAudio;

public AudioSource[] soundEffectsAudio;

void Start()

{

firstPlayInt = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(FirstPlay);

if (firstPlayInt == 0)

{

backgroundFloat = .25f;

soundEffectsFloat = .75f;

backgroundSlider.value = backgroundFloat;

soundEffectsSlider.value = soundEffectsFloat;

PlayerPrefs.SetFloat(BackgroundPref, backgroundFloat);

PlayerPrefs.SetFloat(SoundEffectsPref, soundEffectsFloat);

PlayerPrefs.SetInt(FirstPlay, -1);

}

else

{

backgroundFloat = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat(BackgroundPref);

backgroundSlider.value = backgroundFloat;

soundEffectsFloat = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat(SoundEffectsPref);

soundEffectsSlider.value = soundEffectsFloat;

}

}

public void SaveSoundSettings()

{

PlayerPrefs.SetFloat(BackgroundPref, backgroundSlider.value);

PlayerPrefs.SetFloat(SoundEffectsPref, soundEffectsSlider.value);

}

void OnApplicationFocus(bool inFocus)

{

if (!inFocus)

{

SaveSoundSettings();

}

}

public void UpdateSound()

{

backgroundAudio.volume = backgroundSlider.value;

for(int i = 0; i < soundEffectsAudio.Length; i++)

{

soundEffectsAudio[i].volume = soundEffectsSlider.value;

}

}

}

Lost me at 2:18 pulling out an entire script out of nowhere… man if it's essential to the tutorial why send us back to another tutorial 2 minutes in?

Thanks for the video! I have a question, I want to play a sound for a button using the SoundManager and then change scene, but the scene changes very fast and doesn't wait for the sound finish. How can I add a WaitForSeconds on this SoundManager? I tried with corutines but can't add it to static class.

How should I implement this with Unity mixer? So I can get audio settings?

nice

how do i make if enemy is chaseing me, sound start

I'm sorry if I sound too rude, but this code is breaking too many good-programming rules that my heart is in pain.

This is a great tutorial, but I'm getting an error. "ArgumentException: The Object you want to instantiate is null. UnityEngine.Object.CheckNullArgument(System.Object arg, System.String message)"

I have modified your script to make easier volume and pitch setup with sliders: In the GameAsset script add 2 public float volume and pitch(with sliders),than modify this SoundManager methods like this:
public static void PlaySound(Sound sound) {

if (CanPlaySound(sound)) {

if (!oneShotGameObject) {

oneShotGameObject = new GameObject("Sound");

oneShotAudioSource = oneShotGameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();

}

oneShotAudioSource.PlayOneShot(GetAudioClip(sound,oneShotAudioSource));

}

}

private static AudioClip GetAudioClip(Sound sound,AudioSource audioSource) {

foreach (GameAssets.SoundAudioClip soundAudioClip in GameAssets.i.soundAudioClips) {

if (soundAudioClip.sound == sound) {

audioSource.volume = soundAudioClip.volume;

audioSource.pitch = soundAudioClip.pitch;

return soundAudioClip.audioClip;

}

}

Debug.LogError("Sound " + sound + " not found!");

return null;

}

Now if u go in the GameAsset object you can adjust volume and pitch 🙂

The best tutor! Thanks you!

Please can you show us how to make the same scene It looked very fancy

I like your cool tutorials man please keep the best world

Make a discord server!!

Come here, cause your add

Wow finally the first time in my life youtube showed me a good add because i was searching for a game programmer and boom finally found someone thanks to a add wow 🙂
