When played in fmod, my music seems to lack some high frequencies and sounds a little muddier than when played outside of fmod. I have already switched the project to stereo as opposed to 5.1 surround sound as that was causing strange bass loss, and I have also removed the 3D which caused some problems. Is there anything else I can do to fix the audio quality? It’s not detrimental but there is certainly a change. Thanks. ---

It’s hard to answer this without more information than you’ve given us here. Have you read [http://52.88.2.202/questions/question/why-does-playback-in-studio-sound-different-to-my-audio-editor](http://52.88.2.202/questions/question/why-does-playback-in-studio-sound-different-to-my-audio-editor) ? If nothing there explains the difference you’re hearing, I suggest you send a copy of your project to [support@fmod.org](mailto:support@fmod.org) so that we can investigate the problem directly.
