I updated Fmod Studio to version 2.02.03 and now when I open it I can’t play any sound other than the Fmod Studio. Even when I open unity and turn on live update I don’t get any sound.

I’m afraid I’m not able to reproduce this behavior here, which suggests the issue must only occur in specific conditions, or on certain machines. What sound card do you use, and what drivers? In the Audio tab of FMOD Studio’s preferences window, what output device(s) are selected in the drop-down menus?

I’m using Presonus Studio 26c Soundcard, I used WASAPI instead of ASIO as an output device and the problem was solved. Thank you for your response !!
