Hi, I wanted to ask if there a way to have more than 8 fmod listeners in unity. In some other thread I read that it’s not possible to map the data of more than 8 listeners to output, however in my case,

I don’t want to map audio to output, I just want to read audio data from each listener and send that audio data to backend. Is it possible with what’s currently available?

Hi,

Unfortunately, 8 is the maximum number of supported listeners. [FMOD Engine | Core API reference - FMOD\_MAX\_LISTNERS](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/core-api-common.html#fmod_max_listeners)

Thanks for clarifying, can you let me know how can I get raw data out from fmod Listener ? I want to send that data over a stream to backend.

Hi,

We have an example of capturing the DSP in Unity here: [Unity Integration | Scripting Examples - DSP Capture](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/examples-dsp-capture.html).

Hope this helps!
