```rs
            FMOD_Studio_System_SetListenerAttributes(
                self.studio_sys,
                0,
                &listener,
                &FMOD_VECTOR::default(),
            );

```

The problem was right infront of me the whole time 🤣.

> Passing NULL for `attenuationposition` will result in the listener only using the position in `attributes`.

I did not pass NULL… I passed `&FMOD_VECTOR::default()` which is a stack pointer to a zeroed out vector. It works now, thanks guys

When would one want to have the attenuation position not be the same as the listener position?
