Invalid file header.

A streamed file could not be decoded because the header of the file was corrupted or it is an unsupported file type. The sound that triggered this error is reported with the error.

Probable causes:

  • File corruption.

  • Wrong version of Wwise was used to convert the file.

  • A non-WEM format file was used with AkExternalSource.

Recommended resolution steps:

  • Reconvert and recopy the file.

  • Use the Wwise version corresponding to the Sound Engine used in the game.

  • Use WEM files when using AkExternalSource.

  • Send the original and converted files to Audiokinetic support for analysis.
