This is the location in your project where the system looks for audio from. You can add additional directories in the inspector of the audio manager file or the audio manager using a file. You can set this field with a drop down which is categorised by folder like so:

| - Assets

| - Assets >

In the settings section of the asset you also have a refresh button next to the directories select. Use this to update the directories list if you have added a new directory that the system hasn’t registered.

Is Using Static

This setting is controlled by the asset and is used to update the scripting defines if you change platform with the static instance enabled so you don’t have to update it yourself.

Show Debug Messages

Toggles if the asset shows any messages in the debug console. Handy to turn off if you want to reduce the amount of messages the console receives.
