Disable Audio in Batchmode

Is there any option to disable all sounds in game and prevent them from loading in memory like with textures in -batchmode?

We want to minimize ram usage of our server, and some MBs are used for AudioClips and AudioManager. Even if we remove AudioClips from scenes, wich will be quite painfull, i think still AudioManager will be using some valuable resources.

 

Bump.

 

Bump again...
and here's reference to an even older thread asking the same thing

Bump... Same issue

 

Bump, same question here.

 

8 years later here I am, with my headless server playing sounds wondering how the hell is this info so hard to find in 2021

 

how about creating a script that disabled the objects in servers. Attach it to any object you dont want to be running on the server.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using Mirror;
6.  
7. public class disableOnServer : NetworkBehaviour
8. {
9.      void Awake()
10.     {
11.         if(isServer)
12.         {
13.             gameObject.SetActive(false);
14.         }
15.      
16.     }
17.  
18. }

 

If you just want to disable sounds, try either setting the audiolistener volume to 0, or not even having an audiolistener. If you don't want the audio assets to be included in the build, headless builder asset takes care of that.

Having the same issue and the AudioListener is inactive in the server build. Also can't find an option on the AudioListener inspector or via script to change the volume. Did anyone figure out how to do this?

 

LoL, Unity...

Those are really the reason to jump ship to Unreal...

 

Nice, it's always helpful when idiots provide useful comments such as this. Thanks!
