Bank Load Failed.

Generic error message indicating loading a SoundBank failed. None of its content is ready to play.

Probable causes:

  • The SoundBank file is not found (should be preceded by a File Not Found error).

  • The SoundBank was generated with a different version of Wwise (should be preceded by a Wrong Bank Version error). This error will specify the SoundBank and the SDK version.

  • The SoundBank file is corrupted.

  • There was an I/O error while loading the SoundBank.

Recommended resolution steps:

  • If you use the default I/O code provided with Wwise, verify the call to SetBasePath(or AddBasePath) points to the proper directory.

  • Make sure the SoundBank was properly generated with the right version of Wwise.

  • If using Unity or Unreal, make sure the Wwise Integration within Unity or Unreal was updated to the same version as the authoring tool.

  • Make sure the SoundBank was properly packaged and deployed on your target.

  • If a custom I/O hook is used, debug the custom I/O hook code.
