How to import Foundations of Audio asset for Add background music tutorial?
Trying to do the tutorial 'Add background music' but when trying to import the 'Foundations of Audio' asset from the asset store, it keeps saying 'This Unity Package has Package Manager dependencies.'. When I select 'Install/Upgrade', it brings up the 'Import Unity Package' dialog. In that dialog, I am unable to check any of the unchecked boxes. I click import and it shows the progress bar indicating that it is doing something, but nothing seems to be imported.
It states that the supported Unity versions are 2019.4.10 or higher, and I have tried both 2019.4.18f1 and 2019.4.17f1.
I know that someone else had the same issue because when I google the first hit is to this website with someone asking this question. However, that link is dead and I tried checking the url in the wayback machine but it wasn't archived and I haven't been able to find that question by searching here.
@unity_xZcjLJRKJ9omFw I had this issue as well and this thread helped me. Please let me know any other solutions that you find to get things working in the tutorials. One that helped me was that they finally mention in a coding tutorial to make sure that Visual Studio is set up as your ID$$anonymous$$ Untill I gof to that tutorial I could not get a single script to work. I wish the getting started areas would teach those items for beginners. I also wish each tutorial had a secion that said make sure you have this configuration in place or item installed.

I was having the same issue as you, the package manager dependencies warning. I just hit import on whatever was selected and found the tutorial scene in the spot where the Unity Learn Tutorial said it would be Project Tab > Assets > Unity - Foundation of Audio > Scenes. I loaded that scene and it worked as intended.
Thanks. I just saw that it said the scenes folder so I was looking in the scenes folder at the root of the assets folder. In the image you can see that it is in the Unity - Foundations of Audio subfolder, which I hadn't even noticed.
Thanks

I am having this exact problem today, including the warning about Package Manager Dependencies. But after I click install, when I look in the project tab, the uncheckable assets have NOT been imported. I'm not able to import any of the models, scenes, or audio assets, so I'm unable to do the tutorials. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to fix this? Thanks!

If this is from the Unity Essentials - Essentials of real-time audio tutorial.
The instructions specify to "Create a new Unity project using the URP Template." Create a new project, use the search for templates box - searching for "URP" and load "3D Sample Scene (URP)"
Then after Foundations of Sound is imported, select the Scenes folder under "Unity - Foundations of Sound" and you'll see the "Essentials Audio Scene" ready to load or in the "Open Scene" path "\Foundations Of Sound\Assets\Unity - Foundations of Audio\Scenes\EssentialsAudioScene.unity"
