Extract headers: E:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\x86\_64-w64-mingw32\include\fmod\

In project add link to library (libfmod.a).

You can’t use the FMOD C++ interface with Dev-C++. You must use the FMOD C interface instead.

This is because Dev-C++ mangles C++ symbols differently to the Microsoft toolchain which the FMOD libs are built with.

Thank you very much. C interface works good.
