### Play a Sound
Keep in mind, to play a sound it **must** be assign in the `Soundify` script. [Look in Setup for more information.](https://saitama-studio.gitbook.io/soundify/basics/editor)
To play a sound, we can either call a sound by its reference as a property in the inspector or by its name directly.
* By name:
```csharp
Soundify.PlaySound("Background Music");
```
* By reference:
```csharp
public Sound sound;
Soundify.PlaySound(sound);
```
Here is an example of a script that plays a sound whenever the game starts:
```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using ASoundify; // Import the namespace.
public class AudioTest : MonoBehaviour {
public Sound sound; // Property in the inspector.
private void Start() {
Soundify.PlaySound(sound); // Play the sound on game startup.
}
}
```
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## Play a Sound automatically using the Audio Player
The `Audio Player` script lets you add the reference to play a sound automatically without coding.
