Wwise Plug-in IDs

Wwise Plug-ins are identified by a Company ID and a Plug-in ID. These IDs are defined in the plugin_xml.xml file.

  • The Company ID (attribute CompanyID on tags EffectPlugin, SourcePlugin, ConversionPlugin, and so on in the XML file) is a 12-bit unsigned integer, with 0 being reserved for Audiokinetic.
  • The Plug-in ID (attribute PluginID on tags EffectPlugin, SourcePlugin, ConversionPlugin, and so on in the XML file) is a 16-bit unsigned integer in the range 0-65535. It is used to uniquely identify a particular plug-in for the specified Company ID. The combination of the Company ID and Plug-in ID must be unique on a given machine.

Within Wwise and the sound engine, the Company ID and Plug-in ID are combined with a 4-bit Plug-in Type value to form a 32-bit unique identifier.

Note: The 4-bit type does not "help" the IDs to be different: The Plug-in Manager (in Wwise) makes sure that there is no duplicate Company ID and Plug-in ID combination, regardless of the Plug-in type.

The packed 32-bit class ID is put together like this: Plug-in ID + Company ID + Plug-in Type == Packed 32-bit Class ID. So, in a case where the Plug-in ID is 1, the Company ID is 0, and the Plug-in Type is 1, then the Packed 32-bit Class ID is 0x00010001.

The plug-in type values are defined in the AkPluginType enum (IAkEffect.h) as follows:

  • AkPluginTypeNone = 0, used internally by Audiokinetic
  • AkPluginTypeCodec = 1, conversion plug-ins
  • AkPluginTypeSource = 2, source plug-ins
  • AkPluginTypeEffect = 3, effect plug-ins
  • Audiokinetic Company IDs and Plug-in IDs

The Company ID used for all Audiokinetic plug-ins (Conversion, Source, and Effect plug-ins) is 0, as defined by AKCOMPANYID_AUDIOKINETIC in AkTypes.h.
