Using your event instance you will want to assign it this callback: arrow_forward Sound Callback Assing the call back like this: FMOD.RESULT result; \_eventIntstance = FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.CreateInstance(\_eventRef); result = \_eventIntstance.setCallback(SoundCallback, FMOD.Studio.EVENT\_CALLBACK\_TYPE… --- _[View the full topic](https://qa.fmod.com/t/getting-a-sounds-id-from-multiinstrument-shuffle-or-random-playback-settings/22472)._
