AudioSource.PlayOneShot refuses to play any audio

Questions & Answers

Okay so basically I have a game where stuff drops onto the ground/people. When it hits them, I want the game to make a “splat” sound. But for whatever reason, I cannot get any audio to play during the collision. I have checked to make sure the sound is 2D, the AudioClip is assigned via the inspector, the volume is all the way up, and that there is an audio listener. I have background music in the game so audio is definitely working. The rest of the collision is also working.

I don’t get any console errors either.

I’m completely stumped, I’ve tried both AudioSource.Play and AudioSource.PlayOneShot, neither work.

Here’s my code:

public class DestroyOnImpact : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int score;
    public Transform Self;
    public GameObject Splat;
    public AudioClip SplatSound;
    AudioSource Audio;

    private void Awake()
    {
        Audio = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
    }

    void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    { 
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Ground" || collision.gameObject.tag == "StunnedEnemy")
        {
            Audio.PlayOneShot(SplatSound, 1); //Doesn't work?!?!?!?!
            Instantiate(Splat, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }

        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "WalkingEnemy")
        {
            Audio.PlayOneShot(SplatSound, 1); //Doesn't work?!?!?!?!
            GameObject.Find("Player").GetComponent<PlayerProperties>().Score += 10;
            Instantiate(Splat, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
}

I managed to make this work by instead adding an AudioSource component to the “Splat” sprite I’m instantiating (since that actually works), and making it play on wake. It works but it’s not ideal. Going to leave this question open so if anyone has a better idea they can add it.
