Can I get the original duration of a looping source?

0 votes
Hi there!

I'm using Unity but that shouldn't matter much. I can get the duration of my playing sources quite easily through adding AkCallbackType::AK_Duration when posting an event, though the callback returns a duration of 0.0 if the source is looping.

I would like the duration at runtime and not just serialize it beforehand, ideally.

I understand the idea, but is there any other way to get the duration of the source (as if it wasn't looping)? Or should I loop the sound through another system instead of using the loop settings on the source?

 

Thanks!
