Optimizing CPU usage
Wwise Help
CPU resources that voices use, you can use the following settings to reduce the number of concurrent voices:Playback limits determine the maximum number of instances of a sound that can play at the same time. Priority determines which sounds to kill or send to virtual voice behavior in the event that the playback limit is exceeded.Virtual voices are sounds that ...

In loading different versions of the same object, Wwise gives priority to the most recent one.ExampleSoundBankA was included in the main release and packaged into Package #1.The content of SoundBankA is modified after the main release. It is repackaged into Package #2, which is new, and becomes part of the DLC.The game, which has the DLC, loads Package #1 and then loads Package #2.When the game wants ...
Multiple active bindings can conflict with their Controller Assignments. It is not possible to load multiple bindings to the same key simultaneously.NoteBindings from a Control Surface Session are loaded from top to bottom. When a conflict occurs, the first binding takes priority and only the first conflicting binding is loaded.When a conflict is found:A yellow triangle appears beside the ...

Over this limit, voices with the lowest priority will adopt their virtual behavior. If priorities are equal, older sounds will be considered to have a higher priority. Each sound can override its own virtual behavior, which can be: Continue to playBe killedSend to virtual voice NoteThe Maximum number of voice instance may not be respected if the virtual behavior on some sounds is set to ...

Audio command queue to update the internal sound engine state, but no actual audio is rendered by that function call.Make sure the audio processing thread (named AK::EventMgrThread, but whose priority is set via AkPlatformInitSettings::threadLEngine) has a high enough CPU priority to process. If this was the problem, the game would also experience a lot of "Voice Starvation" errors too.Connect a debugger ...

Platform Voice Instance Limits and Volume Thresholds
Wwise Performance Optimization
When there are more voices than allowed, the voices with the lowest priority will become virtual, unless they’re set to continue anyway. Once the Volume Threshold and Max Voice Instance Limit is defined in the Project Settings, you’ll mainly work with Virtual Voice Behaviors on the individual audio structures. Based on the Certification Runtime Performance guidelines (Lesson 0) ...
Voice Limits
Wwise Performance Optimization
Each audio structure in Wwise can have its own playback limit. When the limit is reached, the priority settings decide which sounds to keep physical and which to send to virtual voice. Playback limits are exceptionally useful, when a certain feature has the possibility to trigger an unpredictable amount of voices and you want to make sure you won’t overstress the game performance. ...
