In the wWise 101 certification Lesson one, I get a Terminal error

Question

After launching Cube Demo in lesson one I get the Array below in Terminal, and no sound is played.

wWise is Version 2014.1 (Build 5129)

Cube Demo is from Nov. 28th 2014.

I can see Cube trying to communicate with wWise.

Please help, as I'm stuck here.

Best regards,

Morten Grønvad.

I'm also getting this error at the end of lesson 1.
I've gone through every step of the lesson twice from scratch, am using the correct version of wWise and the RunCubeDemo as provided.
The event ID matches the game event ID wWise.
Is the lesson asking me to put the MAIN bank in the right place?
Terminal error thread below. Thanks.

Answer 1

These errors are expected, you are starting the Wwise Certification Course with a special version of the Cube that doesn't have any Soundbanks. These error mean that the Cube Sound Engine cannot find the Soundbanks and therefore the associated events cannot be played.

You will learn how to create your first Soundbank in Lesson 2 and other Sounbanks will be added at every lesson so these errors will eventually disappear.

Well. It was actually by the end of lesson 2 and not lesson one. according to the lesson, I should be able to hear the gunshot sound by now with the sound bank I created. I'll try and push on to see if I get any wWiser;)
Thanx for reply though it didn't solve my problem;)

Answer 2

Hi Morten, sorry my bad I did not read your error message properly but it looks like you got an incompatible bank version error.

I also notice that you are using an older version of Wwise that the one provided with the lesson. You should not use the version of the Authoring (2014.1 build 5129) which was a Beta version an is not supported anymore.

Please double check that you downloaded and are using all the necessary files and softs linked in the lesson one. Everything you need to install and use for the certification is listed in that lesson.

I have been having this issue throughout the course.  Audio stopped working after lesson 3.  I had to re-download all files and get the clean version of lesson 3 to get it working again.  I used the lesson 3 project for lesson 4 and that worked.  But when I build lesson 5 it stops working again.  Profiler gives me numerous Event ID not found.  Based on the above answer, are the projects pointing to the wrong build directory?

I don't want to do that again since I would have to back up to the lesson 3 project to make it work.

Any thoughts??

Thanks

Oh.  The profiler also shows 0 Bytes loaded banks......
