🛠️ Step-by-step workflow

1. Adjust volumes in-game

   • Move the slider of any output (e.g. SFX, Music).

   • The value updates the corresponding AudioMixerGroup in real time and persists in PlayerPrefs.

   • The volume is applied automatically each time you start the game.

2. Create a new output

   1. Click Create New Output Guide.

   2. Follow the guide (see right-hand image):

      1. Open Audio Mixer Window.

      2. Under Master → Add Child Group → name it (lowercase, no spaces).

      3. In the Inspector, right-click the Volume fader → Expose to script.

      4. In Exposed Parameters, rename the new parameter to match your group.

      5. Return and click Done, update database.

3. Update the database

   • After adding, renaming, or deleting groups in the AudioMixer, click Update.

   • The system:

     1. Synchronizes the list of outputs.

     2. Regenerates the enum Output with the new names.

     3. Restores saved values (if any) or starts at 100 %.

4. Quick access to the Audio Mixer

   • Click Open Audio Mixer to tweak EQ, ducking, or effects without manually locating the window.
