AudioManager - Sound effects, music & voiceovers in Unity

What do you actually do when someone clicks a button in the game menu to play a sound? Let me guess: You add an AudioSource to the button. Then you add an AudioClip to the AudioSource. And when someone clicks on the button, you start the AudioSource. Isn't that complicated as heck? Do you really need a separate AudioSource for each button? Probably not. And that's also true for music or voice-overs in cutscenes. That's why I developed an AudioManager.

The AudioManager provides three different AudioSources for music, sound effects and voice-over. It also manages the volume for all these AudioSources as well as the master volume. This makes it easy to play sound effects without having to configure a separate AudioSource each time. The AudioManager provides some helpful methods and public variables for this purpose.

Find out if music, sounds or voiceovers are playing:

if (AudioManager.service?.isMusicPlaying) {
  // Do stuff...
}
if (AudioManager.service?.isAudioPlaying) {
  // Do stuff...
}
if (AudioManager.service?.isVoicePlaying) {
  // Do stuff...
}

Adjust the volume of the master, music, sound or voice player:

AudioManager.service?.masterVolume = 1f;
AudioManager.service?.musicVolume = 0.5f;
AudioManager.service?.soundVolume = 0.8f;
AudioManager.service?.voiceVolume = 0.2f;

Use the set volume to update the volume of AudioSources:

myAudioSource.volume = AudioManager.service?.musicVolume * AudioManager.service?.masterVolume;
myAudioSource.volume = AudioManager.service?.soundVolume * AudioManager.service?.masterVolume;
myAudioSource.volume = AudioManager.service?.voiceVolume * AudioManager.service?.masterVolume;

Play or pause sound effects, music, and voice-overs:

AudioManager.service?.PlayMusic(myMusicClip);
AudioManager.service?.StopMusic();

AudioManager.service?.PlaySound(mySoundClip);
AudioManager.service?.StopSound();

AudioManager.service?.PlayVoice(myVoiceClip);
AudioManager.service?.StopVoice();
