So I have tried to find a solution, but I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem. I probably am missing something here, so sorry if this has already been answered or is clear in the documentation.
My issue is the following:
I have a spatializer on my event that triggers most of my UI sounds, however there are instances where I want the sound to play 2D as in stereo. However it seems that the sound is always played as a mono sound.
What am I doing wrong?
here is my setup:
this is an event with one side which triggers the spatialized sounds and the other without spatialized sounds
also regarding implementation I basically give all the parameters to a function and then set them:
please help this is very frustrating
Also all of my sounds are NOT going through the master of the event but are using sends to different buses so that I can have a flexible bussing system:

Hi,
Thank you for the information and the images.
Could I please grab your FMOD Studio version? Could I also please get you to package your project with the following settings:
then upload it to your [profile](https://fmod.com/profile#uploads) for me to test on my side?

Also I just realized I did not gave instructions but what I’m talking about only happens in-game (in-editor it plays stereo). And the sound I am talking about is in SFX\ui\lobby\ui\_lobby\_main\_v2
And the project should be up

Apologies for the delayed response.
Thank you for the FMOD project and the reproduction steps. Unfortunately, I cannot identify the issue from the project. Would it be possible to record profiler session from the editor and in build so that we can see the difference in mixing.
- [FMOD Studio | Profiling](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/profiling.html)
Please upload the sessions to your profile with the following settings:
If you could name the sessions “Editor” and “Build” that would be much appreciated.
In the Unity settings make user the `Speaker Mode` is set to the correct format:
