Audio and Scene Switching

Questions & Answers
1

I have been working on this for a while now and cannot figure it out! This cannot be that difficult and I may be overlooking something very simple. When I start the game the audio plays fine and stops when I go into gameplay, but if I quit from the gameplay scene and go back to the main menu the audio does not play. Why would this be happening?

Here’s my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine .SceneManagement ;

public class AudioManager : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public AudioSource BGM;
	static bool AudioBegin = false;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Awake () {


	}

	void Start(){
		
		if (AudioBegin == false) {

			BGM.Play ();			
			DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
			AudioBegin = true;

		}

		/*if (FindObjectsOfType <AudioManager > ().Length>1) {

			Destroy (gameObject);

		}*/
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

		if ((SceneManager.GetActiveScene ().name == "Title Menu" && AudioBegin == false)){
			
			BGM.Play ();			
			DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
			AudioBegin = true;

		}
	
		if ((SceneManager.GetActiveScene ().name=="Gameplay") && AudioBegin == true) {

			BGM.Stop ();
			DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
			AudioBegin = false;

		}

		if (FindObjectsOfType <AudioManager > ().Length>1) {

			Destroy (gameObject);

		}

	}
		
}

I am not the best coder, but you dont have the sam setup for the if function on both the Scenemanager.ActiveScene etc , the ) is not in the same place You could try that if that werent on purpose

One thing you can do is use DontDestroyOnLoad in its very simple way, and create two public functions: Play and Pause. Then, on each scene, in its Start method, find the AudioManager object and Play/Stop it as desired.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine .SceneManagement ;
 
 public class AudioManager : MonoBehaviour {     
     public AudioSource BGM;
 
     void Start(){
             Play();
             DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
     }

    public void Play() {
            BGM.Play();
    }

    public void Stop() {
            BGM.Stop();
    }
 }
