Unity Script Reference – AudioSource.Play

AudioSource.Play

function Play (delay : UInt64 = 0) : void

Parameters

Name	Description
delay	Delay in number of samples, assuming a 44100Hz sample rate (meaning that Play(44100) will delay the playing by exactly 1 sec).

Description

Plays the clip with a certain delay

Note: To obtain sample accuracy with an AudioClip with a different samplerate (than 44.1 khz) you have to do the math yourselves. Delaying an audiosource with an attached AudioClip with samplerate of, say, 32 khz, with 16k samples(.5 sec) is done by Play(22050). ((44100/32000) * 16000 = 22050).

JavaScript

@script RequireComponent(AudioSource)
function Start() {
    audio.Play();    
    // Delay a clip by 1 sec (44100 samples)
    audio.Play(44100);     
}
