mute ad volume

Hi,

Been struggling to find a solution to this.

I have a mute music button in my game. The status is saved in PlayerPrefs for the next time the user loads the app. I can't seem to get Unity Ads to mute at all.

I have unity Ads load in separate scenes - once after my game intro and once after game over.

I have a global boolean - "music" - which is set to either true or false according to the playerPrefs setting on my intro scene. It is working fine except in the ads.

I have tried in numerous places:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (!GlobalVar.music)
2.             AudioListener.volume = 0;

Isn't there an Advertisement.volume type method?

Here is my unity ads script for my intro adverts. Can't truely remember where I originally lifted it from to be honest:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class UnityAds : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     void Start ()
8.     {
9.  
10.         Advertisement.Initialize ("XXXXX", false);
11.        
12.         StartCoroutine (ShowAdWhenReady ());
13.     }
14.    
15.     IEnumerator ShowAdWhenReady()
16.     {
17.         while (!Advertisement.isReady ())
18.             yield return null;
19.        
20.  
21.         DoShowAd(null);
22.  
23.     }
24.  
25.     // Use this method to show an ad from an external class.
26.     public static void ShowAd (string zone = null)
27.     {
28.         if (Advertisement.isInitialized)
29.         {
30.            
31.  
32.             if (Advertisement.isReady(zone)) DoShowAd(zone);
33.             else Debug.LogWarning("Unable to show advertisement. Placement zone is not ready.");
34.         }
35.         else Debug.LogError("Failed to show advertisement. Unity Ads is not initialized.");
36.     }
37.    
38.     private static void DoShowAd (string zone = null, int version = 0)
39.     {
40.         if (!GlobalVar.music)
41.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
42.         // Functionality wise, the following two DoShowAd methods do exactly the same thing.
43.         //  The CondensedVersion is simply a clever way of writing the ExpandedVersion.
44.         //  They are provided here as examples of two different styles of coding.
45.         switch (version)
46.         {
47.         case 0:
48.             DoShowAd_CondensedVersion(zone);
49.             break;
50.         case 1:
51.             DoShowAd_ExpandedVersion(zone);
52.             break;
53.         }
54.     }
55.    
56.     private static void DoShowAd_CondensedVersion (string zone, bool pauseGameDuringAd = true)
57.     {
58.  
59.         if (!GlobalVar.music)
60.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
61.  
62.         Advertisement.Show(zone, new ShowOptions {
63.  
64.  
65.             // With the pause option set to true, the timeScale and AudioListener
66.             //  volume for your game is set to 0 while the ad is shown.
67.             pause = pauseGameDuringAd,
68.             // The resultCallback is triggered when the ad is closed.
69.             resultCallback = result => {
70.                 HandleShowResult(result);
71.             }
72.         });
73.  
74.       if (!GlobalVar.music)
75.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
76.     }
77.    
78.     private static void DoShowAd_ExpandedVersion (string zone, bool pauseGameDuringAd = true)
79.     {
80.         if (!GlobalVar.music)
81.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
82.  
83.         ShowOptions options = new ShowOptions();
84.  
85.         // With the pause option set to true, the timeScale and AudioListener
86.         //  volume for your game is set to 0 while the ad is shown.
87.         options.pause = pauseGameDuringAd;
88.         // The resultCallback is triggered when the ad is closed.
89.         options.resultCallback = HandleShowResult;
90.  
91.  
92.         Advertisement.Show(zone,options);
93.  
94.       if (!GlobalVar.music)
95.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
96.     }
97.    
98.     private static void HandleShowResult (ShowResult result)
99.     {
100.         switch (result)
101.         {
102.         case ShowResult.Finished:
103.             Debug.Log("The ad was successfully shown.");
104.             break;
105.         case ShowResult.Skipped:
106.             Debug.Log("The ad was skipped before reaching the end.");
107.             break;
108.         case ShowResult.Failed:
109.             Debug.LogError("The ad failed to be shown.");
110.             break;
111.         }
112.        
113.         Application.LoadLevel ("Menu");
114.         AudioListener.volume = 1;
115.        
116.        
117.     }
118. }

Many Thanks

 

anyone?

 

Did you find an answer? I am having the exact same problem

 

In the end I contacted UnityAds directly. This was their response (short answer - No):

Hope this helps.

 

This is dumb. I want to mute ads when my game is mute, but not when my game is not mute... how could this not be an option.

 

This is F***ing ridiculous. My testers have complained about unmuted Ads when they've muted my game.. and my only possible solution is to permanently mute all Ads for all users!?
