I cannot drag any of my purchased (or free) sounds from [fmod.io](http://fmod.io) into my project (or even a fresh new project). I have verified there are zero conflicts on port 12345 (as suggested). I also verify that I still cannot import them on a completely different machine with a fresh install of FMOD Studio. It just doesn’t work! The drag/drop icon is perpetually in the “disabled” state no matter where I try to drop the file. What is goin on here and HOW am I the only person in the world here apparently with this issue?

Hi,  
Try creating a new event with a timeline, then drag the sound onto a track. That should work.

The drag behavior is supposed to allow dragging to the assets browser (as per the documentation) and the events browser but I notice something is stopping that from happening. I will report this to the engineering department to see what is happening.  
regards,  
Brett
