Hi,

What version of FMOD are you using?  
Can I confirm if you are using `AssetBundles` or `Addressables`? I will link to our documentation [Unity Integration | User Guide - AssetBundles and Addressables](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/user-guide.html#assetbundles-addressables) which outlines using both with Unity.

The latest one.

My Fmod is asset bundle but I have no idea how to properly import banks or set it up.

Hi,

I have a previous post explaining how to load `Addressables` here: [Can not load bank(.bytes) In Resources Files - #4 by Connor\_FMOD](https://qa.fmod.com/t/can-not-load-bank-bytes-in-resources-files/19014/4).

Hope this helps!
