The Audio Device specified by AddOutput() or Init() could not be initialized.

An unknown error occurred while initializing a new audio output. This is usually related to the use of a third-party Audio Device plug-in (audio output plug-in).

Probable causes:

  • The plug-in is not supported on this platform.

  • The plug-in does not support the requested audio speaker configuration.

  • An unknown error specific to the plug-in.

Recommended resolution steps:

  • Validate the speaker configuration restrictions in the Audio Device plug-in documentation and ensure a valid one is passed in AkInitSettings::outputSettings.

  • Retry the same scenario with a Debug version, with a debugger attached to the game. Verify if there is any additional information printed in the Debug log.

  • Identify which plug-in is used in the related ShareSet passed to AK::SoundEngine::AddOutput() and contact the plug-in vendor.
