UE4 - LNK2001 and LNK2019

Question

All calls to Wwise's sound engine are made from an AkAudioDevice class in the UE4 integration. As we are looking to avoid modifying the stock integrations for reasons of portability, we are looking to send calls to Wwise in our own classes (without touching your integration code).

However, it seems that calling any function to Wwise outside of AkAudioDevice gives me linking errors LNK2001/LNK2019. I'd really like to be able to communicate with the sound engine directly without using AkAudioDevice. Is there any way to make this possible, so that we can avoid modifying AkAudioDevice and keep our code between integration versions?

Hello! I had a similar problem. Wwise requires to declare AllocHook, FreeHook and VirtualFreeHook functions manually in every project. I don't know why but it is. Details and the body of functions here: https://www.audiokinetic.com/library/edge/?source=SDK&id=workingwithsdks_initialization.html 

I hope it helps!
