hi all!  
I have a question:  
my audio stuff should be shipped into an unity assetbundle with 3d, textures, etc…  
what’s the best way to do this?

(hidden question:) how can I put the .bank files into my assetbundle pack and use when I load the assetbundle?

thank you! 🤗

When you mention “audio stuff” are you referring to bundling the FMOD dlls and header files into the asset bundle? As I do not believe this is possible. You should be able to use .bank files with AssetBundles.

You can place the .bank files directly into the AssetBundle but you will have to load them by scripting and not through the LoadBank components.

hi Richard!  
I have in my ‘to export’ project a folder called Desktop where are stored the .bank files…

the only way to use in the main project is:

when I export the assetbundle I copy the `Desktop\*.bank` into the export folder  
when I load the assetbundle I load the `*.bank` files exported…

I will prefer to have the `.bank` files inside my assebundle file, and load in someway after I load the assetbundle file…

hope to be more clear with this post!

Following would be best possible way to do it as per my knowledge only run that script and depending on complexity of your asset bundle it will create[.](https://www.skylightpaycard.me/)

For bundling audio in Unity AssetBundles with 3D and textures, ensure compatibility, and load .bank files seamlessly. Grateful for guidance!
