What would be the best way to prevent two or more of the same sounds from playing at exactly the same time, thus multiplying the volume? i.e. two enemies fire a bullet at the same time. I tried only playing the sound if its tag wasn't playing, but that didn't work.

For one project i was working on I just used a simple variables that saves what sounds are currently playing and how many of them were playing.

Then i played a sound only if nothing with same name (from variable) was currently playing - by a simple usage of a function.

And also if there were, i believe more than 10 different sounds currently playing I did not allow to play any more sounds until at least one of them finished.

Don't know why but I don't trust tags
