Open the “bin” folder in your FMOD Studio API installation folder and open the `fsbank.exe` file. Use this program to add the audio files you need and then click “Build” to build an `.fsb` file.

i can do that as well but i was writing my own way to do that so that i can wrap your code with C# and use it in Unity3d  
Here is my progress so far

```auto
#include <FSB/fsbank.h>
#include <FSB/fsbank_errors.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

extern "C" _declspec(dllexport) void createSubsound();

void createSubsound()
{
	const char* cache = "G:/cache";
	FSBank_Init(FSBANK_FSBVERSION_FSB5, FSBANK_INIT_NORMAL, (unsigned int)2, cache);
	FSBANK_SUBSOUND subsound;
	const char* const msg = "G:/u.wav";
	subsound.fileNames = &msg;
	subsound.overrideFlags = FSBANK_BUILD_DISABLESYNCPOINTS;
	subsound.overrideQuality = 1;
	subsound.desiredSampleRate = 1;
	const FSBANK_SUBSOUND* newSubsound = &subsound;

	FSBank_Build(newSubsound, 1, FSBANK_FORMAT_VORBIS, FSBANK_BUILD_DEFAULT | FSBANK_BUILD_DONTLOOP, 100, NULL, "G:/test.fsb5");
}

```

But for some reason it doesnt seem to work

I consulted with our lead dev who mentions the following:

- `FSBANK_SUBSOUND subsound` isn’t zero initialized so that will cause issues.
- `subsound.numFiles` isn’t specified, it should be 1 for your case.
- Set the `desiredSampleRate` to `0` for default.

Please make these changes and let me know if you’re still having issues.

I tried your way of solving it  
i also initialized the FSBank by replacing the library with the latest one

but still on build it doesnt work  
Like it says everything worked fine but there is no output

```
getchar();
FSBANK_RESULT result = FSBank_Init(FSBANK_FSBVERSION_FSB5, FSBANK_INIT_NORMAL, 2, "G:/cache");
cout << "FSBank Initialized" << endl;
cout << "FSBank API Result:- ";
std::cout << FSBank_Result_ToString(result) << std::endl;

FSBANK_SUBSOUND subsound = { NULL };
cout << "Subsound initialized zero/NULL" << endl;
const char* const msg = "G:/u.wav";
subsound.fileNames = &msg;
subsound.overrideFlags = FSBANK_BUILD_DISABLESYNCPOINTS;
subsound.overrideQuality = 1;
subsound.desiredSampleRate = 0;
subsound.numFiles = 1;
const FSBANK_SUBSOUND* newSubsound = &subsound;
cout << "subsound values assigned" << endl;

result = FSBank_Build(newSubsound, 1, FSBANK_FORMAT_VORBIS, FSBANK_BUILD_DEFAULT | FSBANK_BUILD_DONTLOOP, 100, NULL, "G:/Special.fsb5");
cout << "building........." << endl;
cout << "FSBank API Result for build:- ";
std::cout << FSBank_Result_ToString(result) << std::endl;

```

}

the code should be working fine but there is an error i am facing whenever i try to run the build

That error means you are missing the dll required for building to the requested format, in this case Vorbis.  
To solve this, you will need to copy the Vorbis dll from “ **api\fsbank\lib\x64\libfsbvorbis64.dll** ” into your executable directory.
