The specific format that will be used for the sound at runtime. There can be only one Audio Listener in your scene, and this is usually attached to the Main Camera.

While a Source is playing, an Audio Listener can 'hear' all sources within range, and the combination of those sources gives the sound that will actually be heard through the speakers. When you attach your clip to an object in the game, it adds an Audio Source component to the object, which has Volume, Pitch and a numerous other properties. The clips must be used in conjunction with Audio Sources and an Audio Listener in order to actually generate sound. However, on mobile platforms, Ogg Vorbis and MP3 files will be re-encoded to MP3 on import, which will introduce a slight quality degradation.Īny Audio File imported into Unity is available from scripts as an Audio Clip instance, which is effectively just a container for the audio data. If you are targeting Mac and PC platforms only (including both standalones and webplayers) then importing an Ogg Vorbis file will not degrade the quality. For the best sound quality, supply the audio in an uncompressed format such as WAV or AIFF (containing PCM data) and let Unity do the encoding. Depending on the target, Unity will encode the audio to either Ogg Vorbis(Mac/PC/Consoles) or MP3 (Mobile platforms). Compressed: The audio data will be small but will need to be decompressed at runtime, which entails a processing overhead.
