Ima try to explain as best i can:
I got persistent master audio object starting at first scene.
I got lots of sound groups in it, for simplicity sake each group represents a sound for a different character skin.
All audio clips have "preload" unchecked.
In my menu scene player selects a character skin and accordingly in the game scene my script knows which character's sound group to play.
So my question is:
Does the sound group clip load into memory the first time it's played in the game scene?
Does it ever unload?
If it doesn't unload, I'm thinking that if i keep going back to menu scene and selecting all the characters 1 by one and playing their respective sound in the game scene, then eventually all sounds will be loaded into memory.
On the other hand, what if the sound unload when it stops playing, then won't the game keep having to load the sound back into memory over and over when it needs to play?
I know dynamic sound group creator can be used for skins, but i wanna make sure i can't keep it simple for now and just have all the sounds in my persistent master audio object.
Is it possible to make sure all sounds are unloaded upon returning from game scene to menu scene?
or even better solution for me:
when selecting a character in menu scene i can also at that point load the skins sound group into memory, and if i select a different character i can just unload all sounds and load the new character sounds.(i get that dynamic sound group creator could do this, but i wanna see if i can avoid creating a DSG prefab for every single skin for now, and just do it through script)
