AudioSource play certain time range?

Question

I have audio files containing several lines of dialogue each and I want to play just one phrase / line. Is it possible to play, for example, only 13.21 - 14.57 seconds into the AudioClip instantly?

AudioSource.time is get only, so I don't see any other options for setting the offset for which a AudioSource starts at.

I know how to wait and stop the sound, I just need to know how to play from an offset of seconds or samples. (C#)

AudioSource.time is not get only, you can also set time using time property and seek starting time wherever you want.

If I understand your question properly then following should work :

 void Start()
 {
         audioSource.time = 13.21f;   // assuming that you already have reference to your AudioSource
         audioSource.Play();
 }
 
 void Update()
 {
         if(audioSource.time > 14.57f){
                 audioSource.Stop();
         }
 }

@NibblesMeKibbles Try following 3 lines in order it works.

 audioSource.time = 13.21f
 audioSource.Play();
 audioSource.SetScheduledEndTime(AudioSettings.dspTime+(14.57f-13.21f));

Thanks!

  void PlaySoundInterval(float fromSeconds, toSeconds)
  {
     audioSource.time = fromSeconds;
     audioSource.Play();
     audioSource.SetScheduledEndTime(AudioSettings.dspTime+(toSeconds-fromSeconds));
  }
