Playing Menu Sounds When Paused
I have a menu that opens manually (though an action list), and for it's Action List when Turn On I have used a Sound: Play One Shot action - to play a sound when the menu opens. However, since the menu pauses gameplay, the sound is not heard until the menu is closed. How can I get around this?
Howdy, Stranger!

Use the Sound: Play Action, assigning the clip but no Sound object. Then create a "Default sound" in your Scene Manager - this will be used as a fallback by the Action.
In the Sound component, then check Play while game paused?.
Thank you, this does work. Will I have to create a Default Sound for every scene though?
For every scene that the menu can turn on, yes.
If you use Unity UI, you could feasibly attach AudioSource / Sound components to the prefab, but having a Default Sound assigned in your scenes allows you to play menu sounds at any time.
