The following sections list and describe the changes to Wwise between version 2017.2.1 and version 2017.2.2. For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes. If using the online help, you can also choose a different Wwise version from the list on top of the table of contents column.

New Features

  • WG-19979 Added support for motion on Android platforms.
  • WG-36165 Added new Microsoft Spatial Sound Platform output plug-in, which enables spatial audio rendering on the Windows 10 and Xbox One platforms.

Behavior Changes

  • WG-36488 The sound engine will now ignore aux send listeners (set via SetGameObjectAuxSendValues()) and only consider direct listeners (set via SetListeners()) when setting built-in parameters internally. This solves the problem, when using Spatial Audio, where the built-in RTPC values (such as distance and obstruction) are taken with respect to the Room game object rather than the player listener.

Bug Fixes

  • WG-34317 Fixed: (PS4) Added option to avoid ATRAC9 alignment check on banks (AkPlatformInitSettings.bStrictAtrac9Aligment).
  • WG-35934 Fixed: Playback priority of 2D sound affected by the distance-based priority offset.
  • WG-35964 Fixed: Play followed by a direct play results in no sound for the direct play.
  • WG-35981 Fixed: Rare crash in the music engine when unloading banks.
  • WG-36216 (Switch) Added support for all controller modes for rumble.
  • WG-36263 Fixed: (iOS, Mac) Audible clicks with Xcode 9.1.
  • WG-36330 Fixed: Toolbar shows possible children for Master-Mixer Hierarchy.
  • WG-36348 Fixed: Global RTPC does not control a Switch type Music Track subtrack.
  • WG-36400 Fixed: Switch Containers with State Groups play objects assigned to the None State.
  • WG-36450 Fixed: Deadlock with dynamic sequences when All Except Actions are used.
  • WG-36459 Fixed: Recorder plug-in always shows write access denied on Mac.
  • WG-36486 Fixed: Unable to stop paused sounds when pause occurred in the same frame as play and stop was caused by a transition.

  • WG-36745 Fixed: Occasional burst of infinite volume with multi-positioned sounds when going under volume threshold.
  • WG-36759 Fixed: Schematic View positioning info is wrong for busses.
  • WG-36766 Fixed: Mixer plug-in assignment lost when reloading project (if unlink is used and referencing a ShareSet).
