AkEarlyReflections from the Inspector
Wwise Unity Integration
The early reflection auxiliary bus parameter specified on individual sounds takes priority over the value passed here. Reflections Volume Set an early reflections send volume for the current game object. It will be used to control the volume of the early reflections send. The component will call AK:SpatialAudio::SetEarlyReflectionsVolume() with the entered volume value. The value is combined with ...
Using AkRoomAwareObject from the Inspector
Wwise Unity Integration
GameObject's collider overlaps with the AkRoom component's collider, the GameObject is set in the room (if the room has a higher priority than the current room the GameObject is in). Scale the GameObject's collider accordingly. We recommend scaling it to 0. See also Spatial Audio in Unity Rooms and Portals Tutorial
Rooms and Portals Tutorial
Wwise Unity Integration
Make sure that the Room has a lower priority than the other AkRoom components of your scene. E. Portals and Reverb Sound emitted through Portals can also use the reverb from the Room the listener is in. We call this Room Coupling. Open the a room's Auxiliary Bus Property Editor and make sure Use game-defined auxiliary sends is checked in the General Settings tab. This sends the room's reverb to other ...

Packaging Wwise Assets as Bulk Data
Wwise Unreal Integration
Wwise assets that contain the text "Footstep*" (the asterisk is a wildcard operator), or in other words the various footstep sounds used throughout the Unreal project. Ordering and Priority The Libraries used for cooking Wwise UAssets as BulkData list is ordered. The first library in the list overrides all items below it, the second library overrides the items below it, and so on. You can therefore ...
Rooms and Portals
Wwise Unreal Integration
If the rooms overlap, the room with the highest priority is chosen. When working with rooms and portals in the level editor, be sure to set the viewport to Realtime so that the portal visualisations are updated correctly as you move portals. Verify your Setup Start the scene and stay at the start location. When playing the events on the emitters inside the rooms, you should be able to hear them.
WwiseFileHandler Module
Wwise Unreal Integration
They don’t have the same Unreal thread-local data, the stack size is different, and the priority might be different. Because of this, many Unreal operations will fail, such as Stats gathering. Filename-Based Location Resolver Most Open operations in the Location Resolver are performed based on a Short ID stored in the various maps. Opening files based on a file pathname is not supported by the Integration.
WwiseProcessing Module
Wwise Unreal Integration
They don’t have the same Unreal thread-local data, stack sizes are different, and priority might be different. Use this option with caution. <Location>Game: The recommended method for user interface tasks, in which the callback must be executed on the Game Thread.

Module 20: Optimizing your sound design
Wwise Fundamentals
You'll also learn how to assign a priority to your sounds, so the most important sounds are never compromised. By completing this module, you'll gain the following skills: Profiling games Filtering data in the Capture Log Defining a volume threshold per platform Defining the maximum number of voices per platform Limiting sound instances Defining playback ...
Unity integration: Is there any reason not to use WWise and Unity's audio system simultaneously?
Q & A
As for optimizations, the game is not yet in beta, but audio hasn't been much of a priority because it consumes a relatively small amount of resources compared to physics, scripts and rendering (under 3% of CPU in a stress test scene). Are we likely to see a big performance hit from WWise if we're only using it for music?
