By default, our unity integration attaches the listener to the camera. Your game seems to use third-person perspective; If you want the audibility of events to be based on the player’s position, you need to attach the listener to the player. Have you done this?

Yes! that is the solution! it works. thank you Joseph Harvey.

but i have another problem, that work if a have the sound in a Studio Event Emitter, but when i use the script something missing, maybe activate the 3d panner in the script, but how?

the script

using UnityEngine;  
using System.Collections;

public class EnemyMovement : MonoBehaviour  
{  
Transform player;  
PlayerHealth playerHealth;  
EnemyHealth enemyHealth;  
NavMeshAgent nav;

```
[FMODUnity.EventRef]
public string Playerstate2 = "event:/Music";

void Awake ()
{
    player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player").transform;
    playerHealth = player.GetComponent <PlayerHealth> ();
    enemyHealth = GetComponent <EnemyHealth> ();
    nav = GetComponent <NavMeshAgent> ();
}

void Update ()
{

	FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.PlayOneShot (Playerstate2 );
    if(enemyHealth.currentHealth > 0 && playerHealth.currentHealth > 0)
    {
        nav.SetDestination (player.position);
    }
    else
    {
        nav.enabled = false;
    }
}

```

}

if i use the 3d panner not work , only in the studio event emmiter. if i erase the 3d panner doesn´t sound.

Use

FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.PlayOneShot(Playerstate2, transform.position);

to play the sound at the objects current location.

Use

FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.PlayOneShot(Playerstate2, gameObject);

to have the sound follow the game object position for the duration of the event.
