Communicating Parameter Value between UE5 and FMOD Effect Chain

Unreal Engine
1

I’m having some issues with creating a simple sound system I call sots (size of the space). I simply use a radial line trace to get an approximate value representing the openness of the space and then want that float value to affect a parameter attached to a effect chain I apply to events, but it doesn’t quite want to work.
I double checked and the parameter value is being sent (if it’s going through successfully) before the event using the effect chain is played, so I’m very unsure what isn’t working as no matter what the value, the sound played ends up being identical regardless. Any help would be appreciated

I’ve tried both “Set Parameter” nodes separately as well.

Check the output logs for any errors or warnings that may be related to setting parameters.

You can also attach the Studio Profiler to the Play-In-Editor session, this will allow you to capture what is actually going on in real time.

You could also try debugging by using the GetParameter blueprints to confirm the values of the parameters.
