    Hi everyone.
    I have done a silly and not sure how I did it or how to undo it.

    Unity by default listens to your audio sources from the camera (AudioListener) perspective in play mode but when in edit mode in scene view listens from the flythrough camera perspective. Somehow I’ve managed to lock it to listening from the camera perspective in both play mode and edit mode scene view.

    How can I get it to back to listening from the flythrough camera perspective in scene view?

    all my audiosources are 3D, the max distances are low, the spread is small and the curve is linear.
    I’ve gone through my project settings/Audio and can’t see anything there.
    I’ve tried deleting my audio mixer and making a new one.

    Anyone come across this before?

    Neat! Never heard of that one happening before (see what I did there?)

    Some ideas to try in rapidly-ascending order of direness:

    - close the scene window, reopen it

    - close unity, reopen it

    - reset layouts (upper corner)

    - reimport all

    - make a new blank project and copy your entire Assets/ folder over to it

    Thanks. Done, done, done and done, all with no change.
    even opened project on a different computer. Same result.

    Hmmm.... check the "Gizmos" menu in the Scene View toolbar and make sure that the "Audio" checkbox is enabled. If this doesn't work, try resetting your preferences in Unity.

    Thank you.
    Gizmo's are fine
    I can find how to reset the layout preferences, however, this has no bearing on the audio. Is there a way to reset all preferences?
