How To Add Audio Correctly | VRChat Unity Tutorial

[@LightsFuzzy]

So for anyone experiencing low audio, or bad quality, let me offer a few solutions that he didn't go over here in this video. Firstly, after adding the audio you wish, do make sure that the object containing the audio is placed correctly, sometimes it can spawn on the floor making it sound more distant and quiet. Also, DO NOT check Spatialization if you're playing music as it will slightly distort it and even quiet it down because the falloff will be more harsh the further away you're standing. It also lowers the sound quality quiet a bit. Min Distance and Max Distance also effect the volume and sound quality of your audio. Some of you may have noticed that your sound appears clear and loud in unity, but quiet and low in-game, this is likely because the audio source is on the floor or some distance away from your head, so the falloff lowers the volume a bit. where as in unity you hear it at its closest max volume. Make the Max distance the radius in which you want people to be able to hear your audio, and then make the min-distance as close to that as possible, that way the sound will be consistent and loud from source to the edge of the radius. I hope this helps anyone experiencing issues with their audio.

Wonderful tutorial Thank you Simple and Beautifully Explained. One question I have ... can I also make a toggle that I can deactivate and activate the audio in my menu ? if so how do I do that?

[@SoulesOfficial]

Just add a toggle for the audiosource item in the hierarchy, as for any other toggle too. There are dozen of tuutorials online for that

[@Justfillintheblank]

To clarify: the Gain slider in the SpatialAudioSource is used for volume loudness, copying the minimum distance value into the gain slot limits you if your minimum distance is too small.

[@Ryu.Kumiko_Officiel]

can you make a tutorial for toggles ? i'd like to add a lot of audios on my avatar and set them to be like normal toggles. so i click on it, and i can hear the song until i unlick it. i'm trying rn but i'm using toggle assistant because i'm bad at toggles, and when i click on the toggle, i don't hear my audio

[@ItzRandomlyTV]

You can join my discord server where I can help people with little stuff like this. Which I will add toggle tutorial on my to-do list.

[@Ryu.Kumiko_Officiel]

@@ItzRandomlyTV okay, thanks !

[@notzeldalol712]

I often make the mistake of whenever I add audio. Other players can hear it, even if they're on the other side of the world. Will this tutorial help with that?

[@ItzRandomlyTV]

Yes! If you look at 1:50 I explain where you can set the volume rolloff and set the min - max distance however you want. You can visibly see two spheres around your avatar, which is where how far or close people can hear. 2:35 also explains that which also points out not to make the "red line" mistake which causes world audio.

[@DJthunder-yn7xy]

How do we put a players voice over a world globally like an announcement system

[@TheGreatFish23]

thanks this helped me

[@Lil_VampireCJ]

I've fully followed this guide to set up my audio on a avatar and the audio is not working aka playing on both playmode or vrchat. :/

[@galloviking4766]

Mhmmm. I want to add audio for when I toggle something on, and then off (stealth toggle). So two sounds for the same toggle. is that possible?

[@the_observer4458]

so how do you add multiple songs to the head so it plays in a list instead of just one song

[@ghostowl2939]

Ok, So I Have An Issue, Where VRC Is Limiting The Sound Of The Audio, So It Doesn't Sound Like It's Playing At Full Volume In Game, But On Play Mode In Unity, It Sounds Perfectly Fine.

[@LightsFuzzy]

This is what I'm experiencing too.

[@LethalMediaProductions]

SO maybe you can tell me I made a particle system with an audio source I put it on my hip root and created a toggle the toggle works BUT it also plays the audio when I calibrate my fbt every time XD halp.

[@Cyber108]

lol make it do the halo theme lmao

[@imruhnay]

could this work on quest as well? ive seen avatars that have sound on quest and im hoping its done the same way as this

[@Cyber108]

quest doesn't have avatar audio set up on the sdk due to the ram capabilities. Thanks to Meta

[@FredVr_]

OK cool But Now I cant hear the audio at all? help please?

[@Lil_VampireCJ]

Same issue here, can't hear my audio at all not even in VrChat on its own & I followed everything the guide says to do. :/

[@oreoagent6400]

For some reason if my Max distance is set to 10 or bellow, it is just mute.

[@GazixVR]

[@dragonickaiuchiha]

[@A_Chaotic_Melon]
