Hello! I’m using FMOD 2.03.06, Unity 2022.2.12 and Steam Audio 4.7.0. OS: Windows 11. Currently developing a small VR game, testing it on Meta Quest 3.
I downloaded everything and integrated the Steam Audio plugin into FMOD and Unity (so that FMOD was installed before the Steam Audio). In FMOD settings “phonon_fmod“ was written as a Dynamic Plugin for Editor and Default. In Steam Audio settings FMOD Studio was chosen as the Audio Engine.
FMOD project is located in the Unity project directory, in FMOD project’s folder I have the Plugins folder with phonon.dll, phonon_fmod.dll and phonon_fmod.plugin.js.
In Unity’s Assets/Plugins I have FMOD and SteamAudio, the second was installed through adding it as a custom package.The path of phonon_fmod is:
Assets\Plugins\FMOD\platforms\win\lib\x86_64
However, after pressing “Play“ it was is x86 folder (the editor threw some errors of phonon_fmod being absent from this x86_64 folder), I cut it and placed it in the correct folder.
Plugin is visible in FMOD, however by default, when Steam Audio Spatializer is applied, the sound plays more to the left.
In Unity, I got this error from the start after pressing play:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
SteamAudio.SteamAudioManager.OnApplicationStart (SteamAudio.ManagerInitReason reason) (at Assets/Plugins/SteamAudio/Scripts/Runtime/SteamAudioManager.cs:298)
SteamAudio.SteamAudioManager.Initialize (SteamAudio.ManagerInitReason reason) (at Assets/Plugins/SteamAudio/Scripts/Runtime/SteamAudioManager.cs:683)
SteamAudio.SteamAudioManager.AutoInitialize () (at Assets/Plugins/SteamAudio/Scripts/Runtime/SteamAudioManager.cs:1560)
And then:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
SteamAudio.SteamAudioManager.NotifyAudioListenerChanged () (at Assets/Plugins/SteamAudio/Scripts/Runtime/SteamAudioManager.cs:491)
SteamAudio.SteamAudioManager.OnSceneLoaded (UnityEngine.SceneManagement.Scene scene, UnityEngine.SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode loadSceneMode) (at Assets/Plugins/SteamAudio/Scripts/Runtime/SteamAudioManager.cs:466)
UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.Internal_SceneLoaded (UnityEngine.SceneManagement.Scene scene, UnityEngine.SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode mode) (at <61c05f8d81804e929ff4198c5bcc7a62>:0)
**When pressing the “Install FMOD Studio Plugin Files“ button in the Steam Audio tab in the editor I have this error in the terminal:
**
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
SteamAudio.SteamAudioManager.InstallFMODStudioPluginFiles () (at Assets/Plugins/SteamAudio/Scripts/Runtime/SteamAudioManager.cs:1117)
I also tried integrating Meta XR SDK for FMOD, but even though I installed everything correctly, I still faced similar issues: no sound in game from events that had the Meta XR plugin and similar issues when trying to back the scene: NullReference errors, as far as I remember
Lastly, the event with the Steam Audio Spatializer did not produce any sound in Unity, all other FMOD events without it played as usual.
Would appreciate any help….
