Media was not loaded for this source.

Wwise is expecting to find media to play a sound, but it is not loaded. This occurs when SoundBanks are split for Structure in one SoundBank and Media in another. The Event can be triggered because the Structure is loaded, but if the Media SoundBank is not, then nothing can actually play.

Probable causes:

A SoundBank failed to load.
A call to PrepareBank() or PrepareEvent() failed.
SoundBanks are out of date.

Recommended resolution steps:

Look for clues regarding SoundBank failures in the Capture Log.
Look for clues regarding PrepareEvent() or PrepareEvent() in the Capture Log.
