AudioManager in Unity

Add an audio listener to your camera (it should be there by default already):

Import your sounds: Add Audio Source component to the objects you want to emit sound. I will add it to a “blood splash” prefab, that gets spawned every time enemy is killed. Add it an check Play on awake: Now the sound will play every time a zombie is killed.

AudioManager

Audio Manager provides a long term solution for managing audio clips in a big project. You can also re-use this manager in every future gamedev project. So let’s get to it: Create an empty object AudioManager and assign a c# script to it. Next create Sound c# script.

using System;  
using System.Linq;  
using UnityEngine;  
public class AudioManager : MonoBehaviour  
{  
    public Sound[] sounds;  
    public static AudioManager instance;  
    void Awake()  
    {  
        if (instance == null)  
        {  
            instance = this;  
        }  
        else  
        {  
            Destroy(gameObject);  
            return;  
        }  
        // lives through transitioning  
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);  
        foreach (Sound sound in sounds)  
        {  
            sound.source = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();  
            sound.source.clip = sound.clip;  
            sound.source.volume = sound.volume;  
            sound.source.pitch = sound.pitch;  
            sound.source.loop = sound.loop;  
        }  
    }  
    void Start()  
    {  
        Play("bg_music");  
    }  
    public void Play(string name)  
    {  
        Sound snd = Array.Find(sounds, sound => sound.name == name);  
        try  
        {  
            snd.source.Play();  
        }  
        catch (Exception e)  
        {  
            Debug.LogWarning("sound not found");  
        }  
    }  
}

using UnityEngine.Audio;  
using UnityEngine;  
[System.Serializable]  
public class Sound  
{  
    public string name;  
    public AudioClip clip;  
    [Range(0f,1f)]  
    public float volume;  
    [Range(0f,3f)]  
    public float pitch;  
    public bool loop;  
    [HideInInspector] public AudioSource source;  
}

Then just add the sounds to the audio manager: And play them from inside the code (in this case when the telekinesis power gets activated):

holdsObject = true;  
FindObjectOfType<AudioManager>().Play("telekinesis_pickup");
