I have an event with a multi sound container and would like to know what asset(s) are being triggered when the event is played. Is there a way of getting this?

Thanks

Hi James,

You can use the FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_SOUND\_PLAYED callback to find out which assets are being played:

[https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?page=content/generated/FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK.html#/](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?page=content/generated/FMOD_STUDIO_EVENT_CALLBACK.html#/)

Thanks,  
Richard

Yes, you can loop through all the channels and get their assets.

FMOD\_System\_GetChannel(\_fmod\_system, index, &channel);  
FMOD\_Channel\_IsPlaying(channel, &info.playing);  
FMOD\_Channel\_GetCurrentSound(channel, &sound);  
FMOD\_Sound\_GetName(sound, &info.name[0], sizeof(info.name));

If a multi-sound is playing, it will tell you the asset.

You have to use the low-level API calls, but they work fine if you’re using the studio API.
