Audio isn't playing

I followed the video exactly but doesn't play when the game is ran. When i click on the audio files in the editor it opens it in iTunes and plays it, but doesn't play it at all when I run the game.

A few things to help you debug:

  • Did you confirm the script that activates the audio is actually running? Maybe you can write a log to the console, to see if the related script is running at all
  • Did you see any errors in the Unity Console when the sound should have been played?
  • Do you have Unity's volume low on the volume mixer on your PC?

Hope this helps.
