    Hi,

    Been struggling to find a solution to this.

    I have a mute music button in my game. The status is saved in PlayerPrefs for the next time the user loads the app. I can't seem to get Unity Ads to mute at all.

    I have unity Ads load in separate scenes - once after my game intro and once after game over.

    I have a global boolean - "music" - which is set to either true or false according to the playerPrefs setting on my intro scene. It is working fine except in the ads.

    I have tried in numerous places:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. if (!GlobalVar.music)
    2.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
    Isn't there an Advertisement.volume type method?

    Here is my unity ads script for my intro adverts. Can't truely remember where I originally lifted it from to be honest:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. using UnityEngine.Advertisements;
    3. using System.Collections;
    4.  
    5. public class UnityAds : MonoBehaviour
    6. {
    7.     void Start ()
    8.     {
    9.  
    10.         Advertisement.Initialize ("XXXXX", false);
    11.        
    12.         StartCoroutine (ShowAdWhenReady ());
    13.     }
    14.    
    15.     IEnumerator ShowAdWhenReady()
    16.     {
    17.         while (!Advertisement.isReady ())
    18.             yield return null;
    19.        
    20.  
    21.         DoShowAd(null);
    22.  
    23.     }
    24.  
    25.     // Use this method to show an ad from an external class.
    26.     public static void ShowAd (string zone = null)
    27.     {
    28.         if (Advertisement.isInitialized)
    29.         {
    30.            
    31.  
    32.             if (Advertisement.isReady(zone)) DoShowAd(zone);
    33.             else Debug.LogWarning("Unable to show advertisement. Placement zone is not ready.");
    34.         }
    35.         else Debug.LogError("Failed to show advertisement. Unity Ads is not initialized.");
    36.     }
    37.    
    38.     private static void DoShowAd (string zone = null, int version = 0)
    39.     {
    40.         if (!GlobalVar.music)
    41.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
    42.         // Functionality wise, the following two DoShowAd methods do exactly the same thing.
    43.         //  The CondensedVersion is simply a clever way of writing the ExpandedVersion.
    44.         //  They are provided here as examples of two different styles of coding.
    45.         switch (version)
    46.         {
    47.         case 0:
    48.             DoShowAd_CondensedVersion(zone);
    49.             break;
    50.         case 1:
    51.             DoShowAd_ExpandedVersion(zone);
    52.             break;
    53.         }
    54.     }
    55.    
    56.     private static void DoShowAd_CondensedVersion (string zone, bool pauseGameDuringAd = true)
    57.     {
    58.  
    59.         if (!GlobalVar.music)
    60.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
    61.  
    62.         Advertisement.Show(zone, new ShowOptions {
    63.  
    64.  
    65.             // With the pause option set to true, the timeScale and AudioListener
    66.             //  volume for your game is set to 0 while the ad is shown.
    67.             pause = pauseGameDuringAd,
    68.             // The resultCallback is triggered when the ad is closed.
    69.             resultCallback = result => {
    70.                 HandleShowResult(result);
    71.             }
    72.         });
    73.  
    74.       if (!GlobalVar.music)
    75.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
    76.     }
    77.    
    78.     private static void DoShowAd_ExpandedVersion (string zone, bool pauseGameDuringAd = true)
    79.     {
    80.         if (!GlobalVar.music)
    81.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
    82.  
    83.         ShowOptions options = new ShowOptions();
    84.  
    85.         // With the pause option set to true, the timeScale and AudioListener
    86.         //  volume for your game is set to 0 while the ad is shown.
    87.         options.pause = pauseGameDuringAd;
    88.         // The resultCallback is triggered when the ad is closed.
    89.         options.resultCallback = HandleShowResult;
    90.  
    91.  
    92.         Advertisement.Show(zone,options);
    93.  
    94.       if (!GlobalVar.music)
    95.             AudioListener.volume = 0;
    96.     }
    97.    
    98.     private static void HandleShowResult (ShowResult result)
    99.     {
    100.         switch (result)
    101.         {
    102.         case ShowResult.Finished:
    103.             Debug.Log("The ad was successfully shown.");
    104.             break;
    105.         case ShowResult.Skipped:
    106.             Debug.Log("The ad was skipped before reaching the end.");
    107.             break;
    108.         case ShowResult.Failed:
    109.             Debug.LogError("The ad failed to be shown.");
    110.             break;
    111.         }
    112.        
    113.         Application.LoadLevel ("Menu");
    114.         AudioListener.volume = 1;
    115.        
    116.        
    117.     }
    118. }
    Many Thanks

    In the end I contacted UnityAds directly. This was their response (short answer - No):

    Hope this helps.

    This is dumb. I want to mute ads when my game is mute, but not when my game is not mute... how could this not be an option.

    This is F***ing ridiculous. My testers have complained about unmuted Ads when they've muted my game.. and my only possible solution is to permanently mute all Ads for all users!?
