I forgot to enable the audio again

News & General Discussion
1

I usually disable the audio system when developing, so that I can listen to my music. But I always forget to enable it again when doing compile. Do you get this problem too? Do you make something to avoid this problem?

Mute unity editor not the game components

I usually just build in a master audio slider in a pause menu or something so I can turn it down as much as I need if I’ve got a movie or some music on.

Or you could use the volume mixer for your OS?

You can mute audio in the scene view and the game view in the editor, this won’t affect your build.

That’s a phrase we use in our family, and it’s not sarcasm. I never noticed that button. :slight_smile:

That’s crazy! Actually I know of a lot of small things that tend to just blow people’s mind when they find out and I’m like, how you no know this!

I tend to use preprocesser directives to turn things off selectively in the editor for development. Basically exposing a bool that says disable in editor. A bit of a pain to set up, but it’s automatic once it’s done.

Of course, @ 's magic button works well for audio. I should try the other buttons up there, it’s criminal to not know what they all do a year in. Who knows, maybe there actually is a “MMO” button there too.

For Unity 4, you can change audio level of specific program when clicking on Audio icon in Windows. Not sure how to do that MacOS.

I vaguely remember a version of Unity that had a Tip of the Day screen upon startup. (Unity 2, or 3?)

There’s a lot of these little features that belong there.

Also, Unity should declare a special day of the year where we all just sit down and read through the entire manual together.

Ah yes, in Unity 4 there is no mute in the Game Window but there is in the Scene Window still. I never noticed it wasn’t there.

5.0 release notes says we removed that :stuck_out_tongue:

Why would you do that? D:

Think about all those MMOs which could be made with that button!
