Audio still plays even when the audio mixer group volume is set to -80 dB

Hi there,
In my previous project, I used an audio mixer, and everything worked as expected. I could mute an audio mixer group by setting its volume to -80 dB through the script. Now, I’ve imported the same audio mixer and script into my current project, but the SFX group isn’t muting when I set its volume to -80 dB. The audio mixer shows the volume dropping to -80 dB, and the relevant audio sources output is set to corresponding audio mixer group.

What could be causing the audio to still play, even when the volume is set to -80 dB?

It sounds like you’ve set everything correctly, but there could be a few things to check:

  1. Audio Source Settings: Ensure that the audio sources are indeed routed to the correct mixer group. Sometimes, settings might get altered during import.
  2. Other Audio Sources: Check if there are other audio sources playing that might not be routed through the mixer group you’re adjusting.
  3. Scripting Issues: Make sure there are no scripts overriding the volume setting after you’ve set it to -80 dB.
  4. Audio Mixer Settings: Double-check the audio mixer settings in your current project to see if there are any differences from your previous project.

Have you tested the mixer in isolation to ensure it behaves as expected? That might help narrow down the issue.
