Audio affected by Slow Motion?

Question

Hi, I was wondering, since there is a slow-motion mode in my game.. is there a way to have all audio playing at any given time to be slowed down while in slow-mo? It seems that everything except the audio is slowed down, which isn't very "realistic" so I'm hoping there is a solution.

Thanks in advance.

You can set the speed the audio is played by modifying the pitch value of the AudioSource. Setting it to anything lower than 1 will be slow, higher than one will be fast.

Read more about AudioSource here:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/class-AudioSource.html

If you want it to match the game speed, you can attach this speed to the audio sources:

 using UnityEngine;

 public class AudioSpeedMatcher : MonoBehaviour {
     public void Update() {
         audio.pitch = Time.timeScale;
     }
 }

Thank you for the answer, but I'm getting these two errors:

Assets/AudioSpeed$$anonymous$$atcher.cs(3,31): error CS0103: The name Time' does not exist in the current context Assets/AudioSpeed$$anonymous$$atcher.cs(3,17): error CS0103: The nameaudio' does not exist in the current context

Not sure what this means, because I'm not very familiar with C#. Do you know how to fix this?

Sorry, class has to be a monobehaviour of course to attach to an object...

If it doesn't recognize Time, however, you might have forgotten to import the unity engine namespace:

 using UnityEngine;

Added both to the code in the answer.

Hmm.. I did forget to add that^. As I said I'm not very familiar with C#, lol. Thank you again, I'll accept your answer.
