Insufficient memory preparing media. Sound will not play.

There isn't enough memory available to load the media related to an Event or a Switch.

Recommended resolution steps:

Split SoundBanks into smaller SoundBanks, loaded dynamically at appropriate times.
Unload unused SoundBanks.
Increase the total amount of memory available by increasing AkMemSettings::uMemAllocationSizeLimit before calling AK::MemoryMgr::Init.
