    Hey Timeline Dev's,

    I'm having following problem:

    I'm using Timeline (obviously) for my ambient sounds across multiple scenes.

    When i create an Audio Track, then reference the gameobject with the audio source and i change any values on the audio source, nothing happens.

    Why is there a reference to the audio source in the audio track in the first place?

    Is this a bug or is there any way to e.g. change the volume of my audio clip from the Timeline?

    Cheers,

    Dinesh

    Which version of Unity are you using? I recall this as a bug, and also that is has been fixed.

    Ok, I ran some quick tests with .9f1 and .16f1 and the volume changed as expected, so I must be missing something.

    To answer the original question, the reference to the audio source serves a few purposes - for any audio clips on the track, it provides a transform in the scene for 3D audio, it lets the user control volume, stereo blend, and pan and/or provides a mixer.

    If you still cannot get it to work, I recommend filing a bug. It sounds like there may be a bug there, but it is specific to your use case.

    I switched to .16f1 and it worked. Thanks for the reply
