public enum AudioType
Remarks
Use this enumeration to specify the format type of the audio file you want to play. This is mostly useful if you stream your audio from a server with UnityWebRequestMultimedia.GetAudioClip. For example, if you want to stream a file with the .ogg file extension, use AudioType.OGGVORBIS.
UnityWebRequestMultimedia.GetAudioClip(www.your-website.com/your-file.ogg, AudioType.OGGVORBIS)); The format types in this enumeration are the types Unity supports natively. For other or unknown format types, use AudioType.UNKNOWN, but note that Unity might not support them. If you use the wrong format, the audio might not play correctly and Unity might throw an error.

Examples
// This script streams an MP3 audio file from the web. // First you have to change the url to a valid link to an MP3 audio file. // Attach this script to a GameObject. using UnityEngine;using UnityEngine.Networking;using System.Collections;public class MyBehaviour : MonoBehaviour{ public AudioType audioType; AudioSource audioSource; void Start() { // Add an AudioSource to your GameObject. audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>(); StartCoroutine(GetAudioClip()); } IEnumerator GetAudioClip() { // Replace the string with where you host your audio file. string url = "https://www.your-website.com/mp3sound.mp3"; // Stream audio, store it as an audio clip and play it. Make sure the file has an MPEG audio format. using (UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequestMultimedia.GetAudioClip(url, AudioType.MPEG)) { yield return www.SendWebRequest(); if (www.result == UnityWebRequest.Result.ConnectionError) { Debug.Log(www.error); } else { AudioClip myClip = DownloadHandlerAudioClip.GetContent(www); audioSource.clip = myClip; audioSource.Play(); } } }}
