Music Stops Playing When Application Loads New Scene

Hi,

I have a problem, i want one track of music to play throughout the whole game. but when a hit the "winner" zone and move to the next level. the music stops. how do i fix this?


Thanks!,

Colin

 

I have a suspicion that there's a bug in Unity that affects audio source components associated with game objects that have been made persistent using DontDestroyOnLoad().

However, I have no idea if that's the problem in this case. Can you provide some more info about the context, such as how you're going about playing music across levels, etc.? (Or, maybe you could just upload a Unity package demonstrating the problem.)

 

Im trying to get it to play music and not stop when i load the next level.

so when i load Level 2. i dont want the music to stop.

 

I know what you're trying to do The question is, how are you going about doing it? (We can't very well tell you why it's not working if we have no idea what you're doing.)

If you're not sure how to explain it, post it as a Unity package so that we can take a look.

 

Heres what im trying to do (and if i dont explain it right ill post the package),

Im trying to keep the music playing throught the whole game. i dont want it stoping when i win a level. basicly.i want it to run in the background. and never stop. i hope thats anoth info for you.

 

Nevermind. I got it fixed. Thanks sooooo much!

 

It's good form to explain what you did, so others who come after you with the same issue will have a solution.

 

What did you do and how do you approach on solving the problem, really like to know how you do it.

thanks.

 

heres my script:
function Start () {

audio.Play();
}

function Awake () {
DontDestroyOnLoad (transform.gameObject);
}

 

funny though how when asked HOW he was loading the sound, he gave us the same explanation over and over. heh. oh

 

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd through this out there. I had the same problem today but realized I accidentally was using a 3D sound for music. Make sure it's a 2D sound or if you want 3D that an audio listener is nearby the audio source in the next scene.

 

hi;
I had the same problem but i think mine was about an error with DontDestroyOnLoad();

i had a footstep sound that needed to continue playing while changing the scene ;

so it stop playing after changing and after trying several ways to fix it what finally solve it was change the

Compression Format to "PCM"

and load type to "Streaming"

hope it helps ;

 

I Fixed this issue by removing the Audio listener component from Camera and adding it to the GameObject to which the AudioSource was attached... Basically the AudioListener component always should be there. (i.e. AudioListener and AudioSource both should be DontDestroyOnLoad, also there can be only one AudioListener at one instance which you all already know I hope)

Usually you want your AudioListener with the camera for 3D sounds from the camera's perspective. If all sounds are 2D only in your entire game, then I suppose it doesn't really matter.
