Hey, I have a question about fmod audio listeners and total fmod sound if I delete all fmod listeners from the project 2D sounds still play. So am I right that 2d events don’t require the listener to be audible in a game? Except if it contains a scatterer which automatically converts the event to 3d sound.

Hi, you can read about the Unity listeners in our [Unity Integration | Game Components](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/game-components.html#studio-listener).

This is correct.
