Unity C# - Audio Source not Playing

Question

Recently I started making a prototype game in Unity. But I have some problems with the audio. I use audio.Play(); but nothing happens. Here is the code:

The initialization:

public AudioClip jumpland;
AudioSource audio;
void Start() { audio = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource> (); }

Playing the Sound:

void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col) { 
    if (down.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D> ().gameObject.tag == "block") {

        audio.clip = jumpland;
        audio.Play ();
    }
}

The audio clip is assigned but it wont play.

generally you NEVER NEED "AudioClip" in your code for any reason, ever. Just have (say) five game objects which are an AudioSource - have them all set-up with a sound effect (or whatever) already dragged on to them, with the volume set and so on. Just have five "public AudioSource sfx1;" variables in your code. Simply, play whichever one you want (sfx1.Play()). "It's that simple". — Fattie

Ok so I had to play it from the "down" game-object script. And I put it in a method so I made this method:

PlaySound(AudioClip clip) {

audio.clip = clip;
audio.Play();
}

and I just call this by using:

PlaySound(jumpland);
