Wwise Motion Source setup for Switch 4 channels 3d spatialization. Wwise version: 2021_1_5_7749

+3 votes
Hello.

We are trying to setup 3d spatialization for Wwise Motion Source vibrations to work properly on Switch JOY CONs (4 channels).According to the Wwise SDK Switch documentation, motion buses should be configured as 4-channel with the channel order as follows:
Left (L), Right (R), Surround Left (SL), and Surround Right (SR).These channels correspond to the device's vibration channels, numbered as 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.However, on the Switch platform, channels 1 and 2 are associated with the left JOY CON (Low Freq 1, High Freq 1), while channels 3 and 4 are associated with the right JOY CON (Low Freq 2, High Freq 2). Consequently, when sounds is in front of the listener, they will be routed to channels 1 and 2 (which correspond only to the left JOY CON), while sounds at the back will be routed to channels 3 and 4 (which correspond only to the right JOY CON).

The question is whether it is possible to re-route channels 1 and 3 to left JOY CON, and channels 2 and 4 to right JOY CON, without the need for complex audio-mixer structures that involve manually steering the proper buses.Or maybe there is some other way to setup it?

Thank you.
