FMOD_OS_Net_Listen : Cannot listen for connections, port 9264 is currently in use

FMOD Unity 2.03.12
Unity 2022.3.62f2

I keep getting the follow warning in the console, what is it about and how to fix it?


[FMOD] FMOD_OS_Net_Listen : Cannot listen for connections, port 9264 is currently in use.

UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)FMODUnity.RuntimeUtils:DebugLogWarning (string) (at Assets/Plugins/FMOD/src/RuntimeUtils.cs:580)FMODUnity.RuntimeManager:DEBUG_CALLBACK (FMOD.DEBUG_FLAGS,intptr,int,intptr,intptr) (at Assets/Plugins/FMOD/src/RuntimeManager.cs:108)

But it seems the project can still detect incoming change to bank file builds

Hi,

Your Unity instance is trying to connect to FMOD Studio | Glossary - Live Update.
FMOD Studio | Editing During Live Update

Live update can be disabled in the platform settings: Unity Integration | Settings - Live Update, which will stop the Unity integration trying to connect to your FMOD Studio Instance.

If you want to connect to the studio instance I would suggest following these steps: Issue with Live Connecting in 2.02.15 - #2 by Leah_FMOD .

Or restarting you PC should help too.

Bank refresher just checks for changes to the bank files on disk and is not related to the warning.

Hope this helps

@Connor_FMOD Thanks for your response. I have turned off the Live Update and the warning is gone. However, I don’t remember ever changing this setting before, the warning just popped up one day – but I may be wrong.

Live update is enabled in the Unity Editor by default. There are a couple of reasons why the port may no longer be free, different software or having multiple FMOD Studio instances open could cause issues too.

Appreciate the update.

With FMOD Studio opened and live update enabled in FMOD Studio, Unity is able to connect to it.
