Don't reload the AudioSource when back to scene

Question

Simple question but make me blur.

I have an audio source on let say "Main" scene, and I make it DontDestroyOnLoad, which make it could keep playing my audio even i going next scene, let say "Game" scene.

Problem is, when i get back from "Game" scene to "Main" scene, my audio will restart over but not continue playing as i expected. How should i actually script for this?

My current script :

void Awake() { if (instance != null && instance != this) { Destroy(this.gameObject); return; } else { instance = this; } DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject); }

I guess the problem here is that when you load the scene again, this will never be the same as instance, because it's technically speaking a different object. Also the object that's kept loaded will not receive the Awake() call!

I would try it like this:

 static Object instance = null;
 
 void Awake()
 {
     if (instance != null)
     {
         Destroy (this.gameObject);
         return;
     }
     else
     {
         instance = this;
         DontDestroyOnLoad (this.gameObject);
     }
 }
 
 void OnDestroy()
 {
     if (instance == this)
     {
         instance = null;
     }
 }

I tried this quickly in a new project, and it worked as excepted! How do you play the AudioSource and is the script you wrote attached to the same object?

yes, this script i attach with the same AudioSource object.

 void Start()
     {
         mySource = GetComponent<AudioSource> ();
         instance = this;
     }
