What to do when AudioSource is destroyed in Unity?

Once it has been destroyed, it no longer exists and therefore cannot play any sound. To avoid this, you can create a separate GameObject to contain an AudioSource that will play the sound, then destroy that once it’s finished. Unity actually has a helper function, AudioSource.PlayOneShot, to do exactly that:

What happens to audio when object is destroyed?

Well, the game object you’re trying to play the sound on is being destroyed, so the audio source is going to be destroyed along with it. You’ll have to create an empty game object for the audio source to be attached to, placed at the destroyed object’s position, and destroy that one after the sound effect finishes.

What’s the difference between audioclip and audio source?

The AudioClip is the actual sound file that will be played back. The Audio Source is a controller for starting and stopping playback of that clip, and modifying other audio properties. Audio Sources need to be attached as a component to a GameObject. GameObjects do not do anything on their own.
