If you’re looking to query the DSP clock for the System you’ll need to use a few APIs to get to it as it’s stored on the master channel group within the Core System.

- [FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.CoreSystem](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-unity?version=2.1&page=api-runtimemanager.html#coresystem)
- [FMOD.System.getMasterChannelGroup](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.1&page=core-api-system.html#system_getmasterchannelgroup)
- [FMOD.ChannelGroup.getDSPClock](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.1&page=core-api-channelcontrol.html#channelcontrol_getdspclock)

Fetching the clock value will get you a number of samples, if you need time you’ll need to divide by the System sample rate, which you can get from the Core System also.
