This section explains how Wwise sets up its audio pipeline for each platform.
 | Note: In all platforms, Wwise always outputs a PCM signal. |
Windows
By default on Windows, Wwise takes the system default device's configuration. You can override the default configuration by setting the AkPlatformInitSettings::uChannelMask when calling AK::SoundEngine::Init().
By default, Wwise outputs at a sample rate of 48 kHz. You can override this sample rate by setting AkPlatformInitSettings::uSampleRate when calling AK::SoundEngine::Init().
When Allow 3D Audio is enabled on the System Audio Device, Wwise can also output a 7.1.4 main mix, an optional stereo passthrough mix, and discrete Audio Objects. For more information on 3D Audio on Windows, see Enabling 3D Audio.
