Audio Rendering Thread

By default, the Wwise Sound Engine does all its command processing and audio rendering in a dedicated thread named AK::EventManager, controlled by the AkPlatformInitSettings::threadLEngine parameters. Calling AK::SoundEngine::RenderAudio signals the end of a game frame and allows the thread to consume all API commands since the previous call to RenderAudio.

Setting AkInitSettings::bUseLEngineThread to false disables this thread, and causes RenderAudio to synchronously do command processing, and audio rendering if needed. The actual rate of audio output remains controlled by the audio endpoint. If the RenderAudio call interval is shorter than the buffer period determined by AkInitSettings::uNumSamplesPerFrame and the output sample rate, some calls to RenderAudio will skip the audio rendering portion. Conversely, if the RenderAudio call interval is longer than the output buffer period, RenderAudio may process more than one buffer at a time, causing a CPU usage spike, and may eventually cause the audio to stutter.

When disabling the audio rendering thread, synchronous AK::SoundEngine::LoadBank and AK::SoundEngine::UnloadBank API calls must not be done from the same thread as the caller of RenderAudio: those calls may block until an audio buffer is rendered to complete Stop operations and free SoundBank media, which won't happen without a concurrent call to RenderAudio.

CoInitializeEx() is required to be called from the thread that calls AK::SoundEngine::Render() when setting AkInitSettings::bUseLEngineThread to false (this is the case because of the use of STA).

Parallel Execution of Audio Rendering Tasks

By default, the Wwise Sound Engine executes Bus and Voice processing on the audio rendering thread.

Parallel execution of individual Bus and Voice tasks can be enabled via AkInitSettings::taskSchedulerDesc. Wwise will call the AkTaskSchedulerDesc::fcnParallelFor callback for any group of tasks that can be safely executed concurrently. This request can be passed along to a game-side task scheduler, which can divide the range for execution across worker threads.

Note: When enabling parallel execution, some AK::SoundEngine callbacks will be generated from concurrent task scheduler threads.; Some plug-ins may not be compatible with parallel execution.
