I am using FMOD Studio API 1.1 in Python using ctypes (per the tutorial posted elsewhere in the docs).

I can successfully call without any issues in my Python code:

- FMOD\_Studio\_EventInstance\_SetVolume
- FMOD\_Studio\_EventInstance\_Start
- FMOD\_Studio\_EventInstance\_Release
- FMOD\_Studio\_EventInstance\_Stop

But when I call:  
FMOD\_Studio\_EventInstance\_setPaused

I get the following error back from ctypes:  
`AttributeError: function 'FMOD_Studio_EventInstance_setPaused' not found`

So it’s behaving like that method does not exist. Anyone have an ideas why it’s not being picked up (yet it’s clearly listed in the API Reference)?

The specific call I am making is this:  
`FMOD_Studio_EventInstance_setPaused(sound_EventI, c_bool(True))`  
where sound\_EventI is the handle to the event instance (which I know works, because I can call the \_Stop method on it, and it successfully stops.

Thanks for any help!

Capitalize the “S” in SetPaused maybe?

LOL! Yes, you are right. Feeling a bit silly now for not spotting that. But in my defense, the API has (lowercase) setPaused as the main header and in _most_ of the code calls.

But you are exactly right… the one I need to use is indeed SetPaused!

Thanks for opening my eyes! 🙂
