Can't properly load Vorbis compressed Bank , help please

Unity
6

Thank you for sending those over- it took a little bit of extra setup but I have managed to play audio from your Vorbis banks on an Android device using the 2.01.23 version of the Unity integration.

The problem appears to be that these banks have a dependency on the fmod_distance_filter plugin. We do not have a .so version of this plugin, as you have discovered, so you will need to static link the source code instead. Here are the steps to do so:

  1. Open the distance “fmod_distance_filter.cpp” file in a text editor and change the fmod.hpp include to fmod.h- this is just for compliance with Unity’s source requirements.
#ifdef WIN32
    #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#endif

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#include "fmod.h" // Changed from "fmod.hpp"

...
  1. In Unity, switch your backend to IL2CPP for both Desktop and Android.
  2. Create a new folder in the root of your Assets directory called “DSP Source”.

  3. Drag the “fmod_distance_filter.cpp” file into this directory.

  4. Download the same version of FMOD Engine as your Unity integration. This is so we can include additional source files that fmod_distance_filter depends on.
  5. Right click on the FMOD Engine installation and unzip it to your downloads directory.
  6. Navigate to “\fmodstudioapi20123win-installer\api\core\inc” and select the following files.

  7. Drag them into your “DSP Source” directory.

  8. In your FMOD Unity settings, add a new static plugin for your mobile platform with a value of FMODGetDSPDescription

With that, you should be able to build for Android, and your banks should load without issue now that they have access to the fmod_distance_filter source.

I know there are a lot of steps with a lot of things that can go wrong, so please let me know how you go with that setup and I will try to help you through any other problems you encounter.
