What’s wrong with this code?

```csharp
var eventInstance = RuntimeManager.CreateInstance(sound.EventReference);
eventInstance.set3DAttributes(context.Position.To3DAttributes());
eventInstance.start();
eventInstance.release();

```

Why does **RuntimeManager.CreateInstance** causes the warning :

```auto
[FMOD] Instance of Event event:/SFX/L01 Drops/L01_sfx_drop_axe has not had EventInstance.set3DAttributes() called on it yet!

```

I know it’s not been called yet, it has to be called _after_ the creation of the instance, no?

Hi,

Could you add `FMOD.RESULT` to the `set3DAttributes()` function to make sure it is running successfully? You are checking the function is returning `RESULT.OK`.

If that does not solve it, can you please tick [Enable API Error Logging](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/settings.html#enable-api-error-logging), set your [Logging Level](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/settings.html#logging-level) to “Warning”, and check for any FMOD errors in the console output?
