That sounds like you don't have a compatible soundcard... Anyway, Don't use statements in you question. Don't capitalise words or phrases! And finally ask detailed questions! It's a hardware or driver related problem... should we guess what kind of machine you use? $$anonymous$$ac? PC? WinXP? Win7? Soundcard type? Unity version? Read the FAQ before posting. http://answers.unity3d.com/faq

This is possibly an issue with the AudioSrv service in Windows. Go to the TaskManager. Go to the Services tab. Find 'AudioSrv' in the list, right click and Restart it. Then restart Unity. Should fix it.

I had an issue with this too but I think I found a solution. If you are on mac, I don't know what to do, but if you are on windows 7 or higher, go to control panel> Appearance and Personalization> Change sound effects (If you don't see it, hit Personalization then Change sound effects)> Playback(The Tab). Click on the one that makes the most sense for your audio to come out on and hit set Default. If it still doesn't work, just in turn, set each to default until it worked. This worked form me.

I removed from scene SoundSource with AudioClip located in Resources folder, reboot computer and it works brilliant. Do not hold clip which is referenced by SoundSorce in Resources or it children, move it to other folder.

https://nahimic.helprace.com/i597-unity3d-fmod-failed-to-initialize-no-sound-with-nahimic

This fixed it for me!! Disable Nahimic services in Task manager! Don't know what they are, why they're there (probably not harmful). Been having this problem for months, nothing fixing it and this finally did! Hope this fixes it for someone else!
