Listeners

The Advanced Profiler - Listeners tab displays information about the active listeners in your game. A listener is a virtual microphone or motion sensor in the game that helps assign the sounds to particular speakers or motion to particular motors to simulate a 3D environment. For example, in a multiplayer go-kart racing game, each player-controlled go-kart on the track could be a listener. This tab shows you which listener is associated with which player in game, which listener is enabled to receive motion, and which game object sounds and motion are associated with which listener.

check_circle	Tip
check_circle	Wwise supports up to eight listeners, but these must be set in the Wwise SDK. Refer to Integrating Listeners in the Wwise SDK documentation for more information.
