Hi,

In the second editor screenshot, it appears that “Play On Awake” and “Play On Destroy” in the `TriggerAudio` component are unchecked and therefore false, which would cause `PlayOneShot()` to not be executed in `TriggerAudio`. Try setting those variables to true in the inspector, and seeing whether that fixes the issue.

Yes, this is because your call to `PlayOneShot()` is in `Start()`. If you want to play the one shot on click, you’ll need to use the appropriate method or callback instead of `Start()`, which I believe in this situation is [`Button.clicked`](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/UIElements.Button-clicked.html).
