Unity: 2018.4.29
FMOD: 2.01.05
SteamAudio: 2.0-beta.19
SteamAudio and FMOD seem to disagree on where the phonon.dll and phonon_fmod.dll should be located. SteamAudio documentation tells us to add the files according to the FMOD documentation:
SteamAudio Docs
FMOD Docs
Using the SteamAudio FMOD unitypackage you end up with the dll’s under:
“Assets\Plugins\x86_64”
I got duplicate warnings just from following the documentation:
Multiple plugins with the same name 'phonon' (found at 'Assets/Plugins/FMOD/lib/win/x86_64/phonon.dll' and 'Assets/Plugins/x86_64/phonon.dll').
That means one or more plugins are set to be compatible with Editor.
Additionally, FMOD is looking for the SteamAudio dll files under:
“Assets\Plugins\FMOD\lib\win\x86_64”
SystemNotInitializedException: [FMOD] Initialization failed : Loading plugin 'phonon_fmod' from 'C:/x/x/x/x/Assets/Plugins/FMOD/lib/win/X86_64/phonon_fmod.dll' : ERR_FILE_NOTFOUND : File not found.
I have tried to manually disable the DLL’s from “Assets\Plugins\x86_64”
and set “Assets\Plugins\FMOD\lib\win\x86_64” as the custom plugins directory in FMOD.
Doing this got me sound and panning, but no distance, occlusion etc…
I have a Studio Listener and Steam Audio Listener on the player.
I have the Studio Event Emitter and Steam Audio Source component on another object.
I’m left with this error and have no clue what to do next.
