Idle / stopped sounds cause audio listener rotation to stop working

[bcjordan]

If I have an AudioSource which I call Play() on:

After it finishes playing, the Resonance scene stops updating the positions of the other items in the scene.

If I enable looping, the problem doesn't happen.

Any ideas?

Another person encountered this here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50761118/resonance-audio-spatialization-trouble-with-too-many-audiosources

Workaround that somehow works:

using UnityEngine;

public class ToggleAfterDonePlaying : MonoBehaviour
{
	private AudioSource _audioSource;
	private bool _needsToReset;

	private void Start()
	{
		_audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
	}

	void Update()
	{
		if (_audioSource.isPlaying)
		{
			_needsToReset = true;
		}
		else
		{
			if (_needsToReset)
			{
				gameObject.SetActive(false);
				gameObject.SetActive(true);
				_needsToReset = false;
			}
		}
	}
}

Another user confirmed this fix approach is both required and works.

Wonder what the underlying issue is?

So, any ETA for a fix?

I'm considering not using Resonance because of this issue.

So, good news is that we've implemented a fix in 2019.1+. On previous versions the work around will be needed. On a plus side the workaround is fairly simple. On your audio sources be sure to call source.SetSpatialize(false) after the sound is done playing and be sure to call source.SetSpatialize(true) before you play another sound through that audio source. The issue is that the Resonance may get it's audio listener coordinates from a stale audio source. So something like MySpatializedAudioSource.SetSpatialize(false) when it's finished playing a sound.

This hasn't been fixed for me. Still getting spatialisation stopping.

I think I ran into this problem as well. I figured it would help the Developers to get a clean example of the problem, so I made a simple unity scene which shows the problem with as little complication as possible:

I also made some videos showing the problem:

Follow up: Found answer on other thread. Upgraded to 2019.1.12, it seems to have fixed the problem. I guess I will just leave this here for reference if the Devs need an example of it or something.

Hello, this issue is still present for me on Unity version 2019.2.12f1 and can only be fixed by resetting every audio source in the scene.
