Roblox Audio

When to Load

Load when implementing audio playback, spatial/3D sound, background music, sound effects, audio mixing (SoundGroups), or dynamic effects. Covers both legacy Sound objects and the newer modular AudioPlayer/Wire system.

Quick Reference

Two Systems: Legacy (Sound/SoundGroup/SoundEffect): simpler. New modular (AudioPlayer/AudioEmitter/Wire/AudioDeviceOutput): preferred for new projects, required for voice chat.

Sound Placement: BasePart child → volumetric. Attachment/MeshPart → point source. SoundService/Workspace → global (BGM/UI).
