I’ve downloaded the newest ‘libOculusSpatializerFMOD.so’ from [https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-spatializer-fmod/](https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-spatializer-fmod/) and put it into my /binaries/android/ folder, I also added it to my .xml according to the docs, it currently looks like this

```auto

	</init>

```

looking from my build is seems like the file is packaged

```auto

Copying libOVRPlugin.so

```

But after launching the game it failes to load leaving me with no sound

Hi,

What version of FMOD are you using?
