Why can't I drag audio onto a game object?

As mentioned in the Space Shooter thread, dragging an audio file from the assets folder onto a game object (e.g. in the inspector) doesn't seem to work in newer versions of Unity. Instead of making an audio source component on that game object, it creates an audio source component on a new game object. Surely this is not good behavior. Can it be fixed?

EDIT: I've just discovered that it works correctly when audio is dragged onto a game object in the hierarchy window. There needs to be a way to do this for prefabs in the assets folder, though.

 

Following the Space Shooter tutorial as well, and having the same issue.

 

This is definitely a bug:

You can manually add an Audio Source component by clicking the "Add Component" button on the gameobject, and choosing Audio Source. Then drag the audio clip into the inspector on the "AudioClip" field.

It used to be if you dragged an audio clip onto gameobject with existing audio source component, the audio clip reference on the Audio Source was replaced with new clip, rather than creating a brand-new audio source component.

 

I have tried it but it still does not work

 

Hello, Hope you're doing well

Hope, this help you.
