Seek table required to seek in Vorbis sources. Please update conversion settings.

The sound engine could not seek in a Vorbis encoded source. The Vorbis codec is a variable bit rate codec; therefore, to seek to a specific position, you need a seek table.

Probable causes:

  • An Event with the Seek Action was posted for a Vorbis encoded sound without a seek table.

  • A call to AK::SoundEngine::SeekOnEventon a Vorbis encoded sound without a seek table.

  • For a Vorbis encoded sound without a seek table, its virtual voice behavior (in Advanced Settings) is set to Play from elapsed time .

  • Your sound is shorter than the seek table granularity.

Recommended resolution steps:

  • Add a seek table in the Conversion Settings of the sound.

    [Warning] Warning

    The adding of a seek table is almost always the answer to this problem. Be very cautious in applying the other solutions listed below, especially in changing the virtual settings.

  • Change the codec type in the Conversion Settings of the sound.

  • Change the virtual voice behavior in the Advanced Settings of the sound to something other than Play From Elapsed Time.

  • Set the seek table granularity to a lower number of frames or choose a ShareSet with a small frame size.

  • Avoid seeking on this sound.
