Sound not getting quieter as I move away from it

    Hello!

    Normally, in the real world, when we walk away from sounds they get quiter until we can't hear them anymore. To hear them, we need to move closer.

    That's also what the Audio Source doc says:

    Volume - How loud the sound is at a distance of one world unit (one meter) from the Audio Listener.

    So here's the problem, I have an Audio source set up here:



    You can see my camera on the very far right, which has an audio listener. However, no matter how far I move away, the volume from the audio source is the same. Changing the volume only makes the sound louder or softer, regardless of how far away my Listener is from the Source.

    Any ideas? Thanks!
