The following sections list and describe the changes to Wwise between version 2024.1.1 and version 2024.1.2.
Platform-specific information can be found here:
For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes.
Behavior Changes
- WG-63760 Plug-ins in Wwise Authoring that call the
GetValue functions on AK::Wwise::Plugin::PropertySet with invalid parameter names now return zero-initialized values instead of garbage data. This eliminates a potential source of non-determinism in SoundBank generation.
Performance Changes
- WG-74004 (Spatial Audio) Significant performance improvement in complex scenarios with both Portals and Geometry.
Miscellaneous Changes
- WG-74685 On Windows, to rebuild plug-in DLLs in the
Samples directory the "StaticCRT" build configuration variants must be selected.
- WG-75659 Improved compatibility of Mastering Suite with recent compilers.
- WG-75968 Upgraded Visual Studio 2022 to version 17.10.10.
Bug Fixes
- WG-73721 Fixed: Icons in lists are sometimes one pixel off after scrolling.

- WG-75575 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) Room containment rays are not random as expected.
- WG-75611 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) When
AK::SoundEngine::SetScalingFactor is called on the Spatial Audio Listener, the scaling factor is not applied to room tones.
- WG-75620 Fixed: Erroneous warning about "Unknown Json field: Color".
- WG-75649 Fixed: Some profiling error messages that sometimes output invalid characters.
- WG-75686 Fixed: Switch Container Automatically Assign with Best Match option fails to assign some expected matches.
