Audio Still hear audio source without audio listener or when audio listener is disabled

Hi guys,

I am very new to Unity and I have been playing a bit with features.

I have one specific problem that is the following:

I have applied audio sources to 2 different assets and I have an audio listener placed on the main camera.
Normally, if I disabled the audio listener, I should not be hearing the audio sources even though it is still present.

However, I still do hear these sources no matter what I do with the audio listener. I have tried to disable it, to remove it, nothing changes.

Does anyone has an idea why Unity is acting like this?

Thanks for your help.

 

Seems to be a bug that was fixed for 2019.1

Although I am asking myself: what is 2019.1 when there is only 2018.3.4 for download right now??
I use 2018.3.3f1 atm and I still have this bug
Wtf, I dont get it. I can even open Unity 5.0.2p4, add an Audio Source that is 600 units away from the main camera and I still hear the sound for 100%.

Seeing this in 2018.3.6f1

Created a new scene, removed the default audiolistener applied to the main camera, and added an audioclip to it. We can still hear the clip looping

 

This is happening in 2018.3.14

 

Same Issue here

 

Yep, same here... By the way Stereojunk, cool username

 

What's the status of this issue? This is clearly a bug and it drives me nuts.

 

I can confirm this is fixed in 2019.1.4f1!

 

I'm using 2018.3.9f1 and the issue is present. I tried 2019 alpha and Beta and did not like those versions. Has 2019 made an OFFICIAL release yet?

 

I am using 219.2.16f1 . I can enable or disable audio listener on the main camera via a script. on unity the script is working perfectly. but on android phone its not working.

 

Same bug reproduced in 2019.4 version. Sounds played without listener on Ios an android platform, but in editor all ok. You can disable sounds by using AudioListener.volume = 0.0f.
