Could not initialize 3D audio.

The Audio Device failed to initialize the hardware resources required for the Wwise 3D Audio pipeline. The Audio Device will not activate 3D audio features such as passthrough mix and System Audio Objects.

Probable causes:

  • The hardware device that the Audio Device is configured to use does not support binauralization.

  • An operating system error has prevented initialization of the binauralization subsystem.

Recommended resolution steps:

  • Configure the Audio Device to use a different hardware device using AkOutputSettings::idDevice.

  • Contact Audiokinetic Support if you expect the current hardware device to support binauralization.
