[Bug]: audio Controls Lose State After Screen Navigation
👉 Please confirm the following
- [x] I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
- [x] I checked the current issues for duplicate bugs.
❌ Current Behavior
The volume up/down input and the mute button on the main screen stop working after navigating to the ship selection screen and returning to the main menu.
✅ Expected Behavior
The volume up/down input and the mute button on the main screen should continue to work normally after navigating to the ship selection screen and returning to the main menu. If the game is muted from the main menu, the mute state should persist across all screens and the game should remain globally silenced. The global audio state (volume level and mute status) should remain consistent throughout the entire app, regardless of screen navigation.
🚩 Steps To Reproduce
🚩 Steps To Reproduce
- Open the game and go to the main menu.
- Use the volume up/down input or press the mute button to adjust/mute the sound.
- Navigate to the ship selection screen.
- Return to the main menu.
- Notice that the volume input and mute button no longer work as expected.
- If the game was muted before navigation, sound may return unexpectedly or controls may become unresponsive.

💻 Environment
- OS:
- Game version: 1.0.0
ℹ️ Additional information
It appears that the audio object is being reinitialized or recreated on each screen, instead of maintaining a single global instance. This could be causing the audio state (volume/mute) to reset or desync when navigating between screens.

Oh yes there is indeed a big problem. We should refactor it and just remove the btn at the right to avoid having two different buttons that do similar things... I don't know but good issue, thanks !
There is a BIG refactor to make on the sound management. If we turn off the sound, the sound should be turned off in the home screen, in the lobby and while playing. Because so far when we turn off the sound, it works only on the home menu, not in the lobby and while playing.
What happening here for each page it have its private object newly created, so sound change when we play game , do you think the way to solve problem is to make central audioManager that control everything or there can be a simpler way to fix this ?
The issue is still active. @SakshamKaundal did a first part, there is still some work to do :)
Hello, may I help with what's left of the issue?, idk if it's on progress rn or something is missing?

Hello @SakshamKaundal have a look on the last comments of this PR, there are still some sounds issues in the game let's resolve them.
You can see the TODOs left : https://github.com/jvondermarck/dinosaur-exploder/pull/207#pullrequestreview-2844419227 from the last PR of the contributor who work on the issue.
from what i can see when we go to ship selection audio is good ,but if we go back audio is gone. except everything is fine right ?
Yes it is mainly if we go back, we lose the audio and also, if we navigate screen by screen, the song seems to START again from scratch, so like if we init the audio all over again, so it's weird, we should have one instance only @SakshamKaundal
