Hi, forums I use coreSystem.mixerResume() to resume FMOD when when my game comeback from background. However, sometimes there are some logError from Debug\_Callback like this: ```auto [FMOD] SystemI::mixerResume : Resume must be called from the same thread as suspend. : ../../src/fmod_systemi.cpp : 3632, time : 3635.888 FMODUnity.RuntimeManager:DEBUG_CALLBACK(DEBUG_FLAGS, StringWrapper, Int32, StringWrapper, StringWrapper) FMOD.System:FMOD5_System_MixerResume(IntPtr) FMODUnity.RuntimeManager:OnFocusChange(Boolean) ``` I wonder why this error occurs and how to solve it. Is there anyone who can help me? Thank you! ---

Is this happening in the Unity Editor or in a built game? You mention when coming back from the background so is this on iOS/Android? This error indicated that `mixerSupend` is being called from one thread, and `mixerResume` is being called from a different thread. We call both of these functions in `RuntimeManager.OnApplicationPause`, or `RuntimeManager.HandleInterrupt` for iOS which should be on the same thread in each case- it sounds like the thread you are calling it on must be different to that. Are you calling it from a callback or a separate thread or something like that? ---

Thank you for your reply! This happened in a built game on android and ios. On ios, we listened on both Unity’s OnApplicationFocus and ios’s own SuspendCallback. According to your description, is the correct way to do this the following: 1、On Ios， we should just listen to ios SuspendCallback because sometimes OnApplicationFocus is not triggered 2、On Android, we should just listen to OnApplicationPause but not OnApplicationFocus ---

If you are using the FMOD Unity integration then the RuntimeManager should be pausing and resuming the mixer for you and there should be no need to call it yourself. Are you finding that FMOD audio isn’t disappearing when the application enters the background or isn’t re-appearing when coming back into the foreground? In some much older versions of the integration you needed to call it yourself- what version of FMOD are you using? ---

Thank you for your reply! I made some modification and it is ok on IOS. However, the audio isn’t re-appearing when coming back into the foreground on Andriod, and it LogError as ‘Suspend Mixer Error:ERR\_INTERNAL’. It work like this on Andriod: ```auto void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus) { OnFocusChange(pauseStatus); } private void OnFocusChange(bool focusOut) { UnityEngine.Debug.Log($"OnFocusChange, {focusOut}"); if (!IsInitialized) { UnityEngine.Debug.LogError("OnFocusChange not Initialized"); return; } if (!studioSystem.isValid()) { UnityEngine.Debug.LogError("OnFocusChange studio system not valid"); return; } if (!PauseAllEvents(focusOut)) { UnityEngine.Debug.LogError("Pause Event Error"); return; } var result = RESULT.OK; if (focusOut) result = coreSystem.mixerSuspend(); else result = coreSystem.mixerResume(); if (result != RESULT.OK) { UnityEngine.Debug.LogError("Suspend Mixer Error: " + result); return; } m_FoucusOut = focusOut; } ``` ---

The issue is probably appearing because you are calling suspend on an already suspended mixer, the mixer we suspended ourselves during `RuntimeManager.OnApplicationPause`. If you really need to handle the mixer suspend and resume yourself then perhaps try commenting it out from `RuntimeManager.OnApplicationPause` and `RuntimeManager.HandleInterrupt`. Again, I am not sure why you are needing to do any of this yourself as the `RuntimeManger` should be handling all of this for you, so if you are finding that the `RuntimeManager` is failing to suspend/resume audio when exiting/entering the foreground then please let us know so we can try to fix it! ---

Thank you again! I found there is no RuntimeManager.OnApplicationPause or RuntimeManager.HandleInterrupt( which is aimed to ios ) in my version(2.0.0). That is why I handle the mixer suspend and resume by myself. As show in the code before, it seems I did not call suspend on an already suspended mixer. So do you know the real reason why this happened? ps: It just happens on Andriod. ---

`RuntimeManager.HandleInterrupt` was added in 2.00.06, and FMOD 2.00.00 certainly has `RuntimeManager.OnApplicationPause`, can you please double check your FMOD version there? I see you are calling `OnApplicationPause` inside `OnApplicationFocus` which seems like it could create double calls to suspend/resume. They should be on the same thread though. Here is what the calls in RuntimeManager.cs look like in 2.00.00 which may help: ```auto #if UNITY_IOS /* iOS alarm interruptions do not trigger OnApplicationPause * Sending the app to the background does trigger OnApplicationFocus * We don't want to use this on Android as other things (like the keyboard) * can steal focus. * https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnApplicationFocus.html */ void OnApplicationFocus(bool focus) { if (studioSystem.isValid()) { // Strings bank is always loaded if (loadedBanks.Count > 1) PauseAllEvents(!focus); if (focus) { lowlevelSystem.mixerResume(); } else { lowlevelSystem.mixerSuspend(); } } } #else void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus) { if (studioSystem.isValid()) { PauseAllEvents(pauseStatus); if (pauseStatus) { coreSystem.mixerSuspend(); } else { coreSystem.mixerResume(); } } } #endif ```
