Wwise SDK 2024.1.0

The following sections list and describe the changes to Wwise between version 2018.1.8 and version 2018.1.9. For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes. This release is a bug fix release, therefore projects, banks, and the API are compatible without change for all 2018.1.x versions.

Note: Plug-in Developers This version of Wwise supports plug-ins built with Wwise 2018.1. For plug-ins built with older versions of Wwise, developers must recompile and repackage them with a compatible version.

Platform SDK Changes

Lumin SDK: Updated SDK to 0.22.0.
PS4 SDK: Updated SDK to 6.508.031.
Stadia SDK: Added SDK 1.34.
Switch SDK: Updated SDK to 8.3.0.

Performance Changes

WG-43686 Fixed: Performance issue in the Master Mixer view when connecting to a game with a large bus hierarchy.
WG-44270 Small performance fix for ADPCM on Switch and older ARM CPUs.

Behavior Changes

WG-44336 Behavior Change: Following the fix of WG-14711, we removed a legacy behavior where the music bar and beat notifications were sometimes sending an extra notification near the end of a segment. In consequence, any workaround implemented by a game to handle this situation should be reverted.
