After doing all these steps that to me look correct, the sound playes for like 3 updates and then just stops…
I debugged it and the channel and the sound seem to be right, fmod system gets updated correctly after I update all the 3d parameters and I also tried to set the 3d mode on the sound instead of the channel and also on both.
I’m not playing any other sound and even though I’m creating a 2D one.
Has anyone got any idea? Am I missing something here? (see code extracted from wrapping classes)
- Created fmod system
- Created fmod sound
- Playing the sound, so that I can retrieve the channel
- setting the volume
- setting 3D parameters
- updating them each loop
- updating system.
I noticed that the sound stops as soon as the window pops up, but I believe it’s just a coincidence or bad timing.

And clearly there’s a bug in the text formatting…

All the FMOD functions should return FMOD\_RESULT, checking that those are all fine would be a good place to start.
Do you get any errors or warnings?
