            system.close();

    }
}

this is my code
var spectrumBuffer = (Fmod.DSP_PARAMETER_FFT)Marshal.PtrToStructure(data, typeof(Fmod.DSP_PARAMETER_FFT));
this code raise exception ‘ArgumentNullException’ so, I traced with debug why the exception raise.
I found dsp.getParameterData() method was returned ‘ERR_INVALID_PARAM’
why working like that?

It looks like you aren’t adding your dsp to anything.
You will need to use Channel/ChannelGroup::addDSP().

Also a good idea to make sure the sound is playing before using getParameterData, otherwise you will just get back meaningless data.

truly music was not played…
playSound Method also returned ERR_INVALID_PARAM too.
I’m so confused about use this api now :expressionless:

The channelgroup may not be valid, you are calling getChannelGroup on the channel before it has been assigned (in the playSound method). You don’t have to use a channelgroup when creating a sound, you can pass in null or even the master group using System::getMasterChannelGroup.

Also when creating the dsp, you need to specify the description going in to create it. Otherwise you can use createDSPByType(FMOD.DSP_TYPE.FFT, out dsp).

thx at all, I turned the other solution.

now have new issue
private void FmodERRCheck(Fmod.RESULT result){
if (result != RESULT.OK)
{
MessageBox.Show(Fmod.Error.String(result));
}
}

    private void InitFmodSystems()
    {
        Fmod.Factory.System_Create(out system);
        system = new Fmod.System(IntPtr.Zero);
        system.init(3, INITFLAGS.NORMAL, IntPtr.Zero);

        channelGroup = new ChannelGroup(IntPtr.Zero);

        FmodERRCheck(system.createChannelGroup("", out channelGroup));
    }

I fixed my code right that
FmodERRCheck(system.createChannelGroup("", out channelGroup));
this line message to me ERR_INVALID_PARAM again.
welp. I think that could be working :confused:
