Hi there. I’m just trying to use the Google resonance audio plugins in FMOD, but Unity keeps failing to recognizing it. I’ve followed all the steps. I have an Audio Listener on the master bus in FMOD, a resonance audio source on my FMOD event, I’ve added the resonance plugin in the dynamic plugins in FMOD settings in Unity. What am I missing? It just keeps saying “Resonance Listener not found in the FMOD project”. I see it listed in the plugins folder and everything. I’m using Unity 6000.1.8f1 and FMOD 2.03.08. Thanks!

Hi,

Could we test adding a new empty event to the master bank and then `Build All Platforms`

to trigger the `FMOD Refresh Banks Status` popup to make sure we have the latest banks in our Unity project?

Could I also get a screenshot of your `Master Bus` and `FMOD Integration Settings`?

Thank you! I updated my FMOD for Unity and it seems to be working now! Although, I’m still learning how it’s supposed to work. Right now I only hear the sounds that have the resonance audio source on the event. Does this mean all events need that on there in order to hear them, even if I don’t want them spatialized? Even UI sounds? Because the Audio listener is on the Master?

Hi,

Placing the Listener on the `Master Bus` will require all events to have an source, but if you put the listener on a group bus instead:

you should hear all other events normally, more information can be found here: [Resonance Audio | Getting Starts - Where to place the Resonance Audio Listener](https://resonance-audio.github.io/resonance-audio/develop/fmod/getting-started.html#where-to-place-the-resonance-audio-listener:~:text=your%20binaural%20mix.-,Where%20to%20place%20the%20Resonance%20Audio%20Listener,-The%20Resonance%20Audio). Please note, events with the source will have to be assigned to the resoanceBus to be heard.

Hope this helps!
