Hi, FMOD. I am prepare to check audio resource in my Unity project, and have trouble in getting event encoding setting with code. So, which API can I use? Thanks.

It sounds like you might be looking for something like FMOD\_SOUND\_TYPE.  
[https://www.fmod.com/docs/api/content/generated/FMOD\_SOUND\_TYPE.html](https://www.fmod.com/docs/api/content/generated/FMOD_SOUND_TYPE.html)

Although this is retrieved from a Sound using FMOD:🔉:getFormat but not an event, as events are made up of (possibly) many sounds.

You could use callbacks for when each sound in an event is started, FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_SOUND\_PLAYED, and get the format from that.
