I thought that my problem was with the fsbank api that i dont know how to use it to generate fsb5 files  
but when i tried to remove the fsbank init function then all the code beneath it worked  
For some reason my fsbank doesnt initialize

I think it is the best way to initialize already

| | const char\* cache = G:/cache; |
| --- | --- |
| | FSBank\_Init(FSBANK\_FSBVERSION\_FSB5, FSBANK\_INIT\_NORMAL, (unsigned int)2, cache); |

---

Linking in this case: [FSBank Conversion of wav to fsb5 problem - #10 by CreatorsStudio](https://qa.fmod.com/t/fsbank-conversion-of-wav-to-fsb5-problem/18803/10)  
This should initialize FSBank correctly- though I’m assuming `const char* cache = G:/cache;` is a formatting error / typo, and it is actually `const char* cache = "G:/cache";`, otherwise it won’t compile at all.  
If it fails, you can investigate by passing the returned `FSBANK_RESULT` of an FSBank API calls into `FSBank_Result_ToString`.
