Installing Plug-ins

Premium and partner plug-ins are official Wwise plug-ins, supported by Audiokinetic and our partners, which you can install directly from the Audiokinetic Launcher.

Community plug-ins are plug-ins developed by the Wwise community of users and shared on the Audiokinetic website. To install Community plug-ins, you must first download them from the Audiokinetic website (or from third-party websites in some cases), then install them from the Audiokinetic Launcher.

Installing Community Plug-ins

To install a Community plug-in:

  1. In a browser, open the Community plug-ins page.

  2. Find the plug-in that you want to install and click Learn more beneath the plug-in description. The plug-in page opens, which is either another page on the Audiokinetic website or a third-party website.

  3. Download the plug-in in one of the following ways:

    • If the page is on the Audiokinetic website, click Installation instructions, then select the plug-in version to download.

    • If the page is on a third-party website, follow the instructions on screen to download the plug-in.

    After the file is downloaded, you can either leave it in the .zip or .tar archive, or extract the contents to a folder. You can install the plug-in from either source.

  4. In the Audiokinetic Launcher, select the Plug-ins page.

  5. Under INSTALL NEW PLUG-INS, click one of the menu buttons, depending on whether you extracted the plug-in files from the downloaded archive.

    • If the plug-in files are in a .zip or .tar archive, click Add from archive. Then, in the system file browser that opens find the archive file and click Open.

    • If you extracted the plug-in files to a folder, click Add from directory. Then, in the system file browser that opens find the directory and click Select Folder.

  6. The CHOOSE PLUG-INS page opens, and displays the Community plug-in that you downloaded, selected by default.

  7. Click Install. The plug-in is installed.

    [Note]Note

    If any errors occur during the plug-in extraction process, contact the vendor. Support links are available either on the plug-in page on the Audiokinetic website or on the third-party website, depending on the plug-in.
