Audio files not playing at all

[maurotalero]

My audios don’t play in the editor, unity remote or in my builds. I’m working in Unity 3.5.6 - Mac OSX 10.7.5. I have tried different audio formats wav, aiff, mp3, etc and no success. I found some other folks @impossible, @gagalug have had the same problem before and no answers (sound not working - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions). Is this a unity bug?.. can somebody help?

Try going into the Audiosettings check that the Sample Rate isnt zero.

Edit->Project Settings->Audio

If it is at zero, give it some value like 16 or 32.

Is it a 2D sound in the import Settings? If not the camera needs to be close by to hear.

Do you have an audio listener?

I just had this issue and googled for the answer, which is how I came across this post. I could not preview audio within the editor or hear the audio when running in-game.

It seems the issue was resolved for me by simply closing the Unity editor and relaunching the program.
