The following sections list and describe the changes to Wwise between version 2024.1 and version 2024.1.1.
Platform-specific information can be found here:
For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes.
New Features
- WG-68236 The SoundBank Info file now has the option of containing the colors from the project for different type of objects.
- WG-71911 When Wwise cannot open a PROF file due to version incompatibility, the version of Wwise used to create the file is now indicated in the error message.
- WG-74127 (WAAPI) Added new function
ak.wwise.core.ping to verify if WAAPI is available (that is, not locked).
API Changes
- WG-74850 Updated
AkSpeakerVolumeMatrixCallbackInfo to restore the IAkMixerInputContext which was removed in Wwise 2023.1.0. Most code written for Speaker Matrix Callbacks in Wwise 2022.1 and earlier can be used with no modifications necessary.
Behavior Changes
- WG-70141 Corrected the volume of some ambisonic decoding operations in order to improve overall consistency of loudness when mixing a variety of ambisonic inputs to multichannel outputs. Decoding of 3D-positioned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-order ambisonic inputs is now 3 dB quieter. Decoding of non-3D-positioned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-order ambisonic inputs to multichannel outputs with height channels is 3 dB quieter. Decoding of all non-3D-positioned ambisonic inputs to multichannel outputs without height channels is 1 dB quieter.
Performance Changes
