Keep your audio in sync across clients in your multiplayer Unity game!
- Download NetworkAudioSync library with chosen networking integration (more about them later)
- Set up your AudioSources on networked objects
- Create new NetworkAudioClips ScriptableObject and give it unique name (this is VERY important)
- Add NetworkAudioSource component to your GameObjects that contain AudioSources
- Assign your AudioSource and NetworkAudioClips instance to NetworkAudioSource
- Assign networking solution integration component to the GameObject where NetworkAudioClips component is
- If you have trouble with that, usually those components are named in following format: NetworkAudioSync(networking solution name). If you use Assembly definitions, then remember to reference NetworkAudioSync & your integration's assembly. If you still have problems, join our Discord for support (link below)
- From now on, don't touch AudioSource component in your code - use NetworkAudioSource.
- Most AudioSource features are covered
- Audio lag compensation included
- Asset is server-authoritative
- Can be used with all networking solutions
- Support Discord server
- Memory & GC friendly
To be honest, all networking solutions are supported! All you have to do is write custom integration component (remember to implement INetworkAudioSyncIntegration interface) & you are done! But here are listed networking solutions that are officially supported:
- Mirror: https://github.com/vis2k/Mirror
- Fish-Networking: https://github.com/FirstGearGames/FishNet

This little script plays random sound when GameObject moves by some fixed distance. This is a perfect thing to use while implementing footsteps sounds - it uses much less network overhead. You can change at runtime footstep threshold, volume, and set if footsteps should be played or not (for example you don't wanna hear footsteps while driving a car or falling).
- Automatic late-joiners synchronization
- Ambient sound synchronization (even for late-joiners
