Hi forum.

Why does this happen. Or rather how do I fix it.  
I have already ‘validated project’  
actually all events seem to work fine but its still concerning that there is question marks at some of the samples.  
if I right click on them it disappears but then it says ‘unused’ instead.

The question mark and “New!” tag indicates that the audio file is present in the assets folder FMOD Studio is looking at, but hasn’t been fully imported yet.

Click on the down arrow in the assets search bar and select “Filter by unimported assets”. Select all and choose “import” from the right click menu to import them fully into the FMOD Studio project.

The “unused” tag means the asset is not currently being used by any event.
