Hello.

My unity project reports high memory usage from profiler and it seems by FMOD banks.  
By profiling, “Untracked Memory” consumes memory about 300~400MB(Removing FMOD, it reduce 300~400MB memory usage).  
I use Addressables in unity, **FMOD bytes** (context is “bank stub:SFX\_xxxx”) files are set as addressable assets.  
And it use “loadBankMemory” method so I tried change it as “loadBankFile” but it occurs error.

loadBankMemory works well with addressables. But loadBankFile does not work.  
How can I change my logic as loadBankFile with Addressables?

`loadBankFile` will not work with addressables because FMOD cannot just use the asset file, we need to get Unity to decompress and extract it first. The way we do this in `RuntimeManager.loadFromWeb` is by loading the file through a `UnityWebRequest` into memory.

This is the point at which you could write the data out to a file to use with `loadBankFile` if you wanted to, but you would have to do this all manually.
