C# Setting AudioMixerGroup through code

Question

I have a Mixer with a group called 'ExplosivesGroup' it´s in the group because i want all explosives to have a custom preset- now i COULD go to the AudioSource and drag´n drop in the inspector.

But how is this done through scripting?

All i have to go after is the String 'ExplosivesGroup'.

This seems to work :)

//First set the mixer that contains the actual group.

 AudioMixer mixer = Resources.Load("MasterMixer") as AudioMixer;

//then we can search for the string like this

 string _OutputMixer = "ExplosivesGroup";        
 GetComponent<AudioSource>().outputAudioMixerGroup = mixer.FindMatchingGroups(_OutputMixer)[0];

Thanks This helped me too. However:

Can you also create a audiomixer and child groups? I've searched my way through google and already was happy to find this post.

Remember to add on top of the C# script the line:

using UnityEngine.Audio;

Alternatively, using singletons, create a public audiomixergroup variable and set it in the Editor Inspector, and set other audiosource's output to that.

Note, this might be bad for reasons I don't know but people keep saying it is, global variables and stuff. But another way of doing it irregardless

Well, it doesn't need to be a singleton to assign it and use it. So thank you, it still helps.
