Is it possible to run another program from a Unity executable?
I imagine the answer is going to be NO, for obvious reasons, but I'm looking for a way to sync an external audio player so that it starts at the same time as a Unity VR experience. This would be in relation to this project, where it would be another way to get around the limitations of Unity's audio capabilities.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Starting another program will be platform dependent. On a Windows machine, a simple call to System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("path-to-file.exe") will suffice.
$$anonymous$$uch obliged for the response - lots of good information here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.process.start?view=netframework-4.8 once I knew what to look for. Cheers!
Yes, that would be quite easy to do with a script. At least with C# I know you can start other programs. You would have to handle the synchronization yourself through code, but that would not be overly hard.
Thanks so much for this response! Not entirely sure how I'd handle that synchronization (or what it is...!) but I'm on the road to learning now. Cheers!
