Failed to encode bank. A specific file could not be found. Unreal Engine events inaudible

Unreal Engine
1

As soon as I build my FMOD session all the FMOD events within Unreal become inaudible. Here is what FMOD says when I build.

Can anyone help?

Are you able to find any issues if you click File > Validate Project?

If not, could you open the logs (Window > Console > Logging) and build again? Are there any warnings in yellow or errors in red that you can see when a build is started?

Hey!

Found the fix. Sharing it here.
So, I went through all of the events in the bank with the issue. I recently added some new asset to an event and I found, exploring the asset browser, that the file was flagged as #modified

I was unable to re-import the file. it said is an unsupported format although it was a .wav file. I changed the name (probably it had some unsupported weird character on it) and it works now. Rebuilded and working.

So, if this happen, search for #modified assets in your asset browser and check if FMOD is loading them properly !

Cheers
