Wwise Help

Probable causes:

• The general CPU load is very high.

• Other threads are pre-empting the audio thread.

• The audio load is very high (too many voices to process).

Recommended resolution steps:

• Connect the Wwise profiler and evaluate the CPU %, the number of voices and the number and type of effects running.

• Find ways to cull some voices with instance limiting.

• Find ways to cull some voices and game objects from the game side (objects 10 km from the listener don't need to exist at all).

• Send voices to virtual earlier.

• Reduce the number or quality of effects.

• Change the codec used for sources or the compression quality (Vorbis is more CPU intensive than the rest, in many quality settings).

• Connect a code profiler to your game and check if there are other threads with equal or higher priority that may be pre-empting the audio thread.

• Make sure your sound engine thread priorities are higher than the normal game threads.
