What versions of FMOD and UE4 are you using?

Are there any other errors or warnings in the console?

Are you currently using a blueprint-only project?

Previously we have onlky seen this in ‘Blueprint only’ projects, and adding a c++ class to the project would then fix it, are you able to share a project that reproduces the issue? You can upload files to your [FMOD Profile](https://www.fmod.com/profile#uploads).
