DllNotFoundException on Mac Silicon using WWise Unity v2021.1.13 8036

+2 votes

Hello, as this is a recurring subject, we have found ourselves unable to launch our Unity project that uses Wwise 2021.1.13 (using Unity 2021.3.21) on any Mac platform (after updating, it was fine before).

We have the following error either when we load a soundbank, and similar errors when we try to play a sound: 

DllNotFoundException: AkSoundEngine assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null)AkSoundEngine:RegisterGameObj(GameObject, String) (at /Users/Unity/Assets/Wwise/API/Runtime/Handwritten/Common/AkSoundEngine.cs:116)
AkGameObj:Register() (at /Users/Unity/Assets/Wwise/MonoBehaviour/Runtime/AkGameObj.cs:79)
AkAudioListener:Awake() (at /Users/Unity/Assets/Wwise/MonoBehaviour/Runtime/AkAudioListener.cs:72)

And this error when I try to access the Wwise project setting window:

DllNotFoundException: AkSoundEngine assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null)AkSoundEngine:GetMajorMinorVersion() (at /Users/Unity/Assets/Wwise/API/Runtime/Generated/Mac/AkSoundEngine_Mac.cs:1024)
AkSoundEngine:get_WwiseVersion() (at /Users/Unity/Assets/Wwise/API/Runtime/Handwritten/Common/AkSoundEngine.cs:141)
SettingsProvider:OnGUI(String) (at Users/Unity/Assets/Wwise/API/Runtime/Handwritten/Common/AkWwiseEditorSettings.cs:290)
UnityEditor.SettingsWindow:DrawControls() (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Editor/Mono/Settings/SettingsWindow.cs:436)
UnityEditor.SettingsWindow:DrawSettingsPanel() (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Editor/Mono/Settings/SettingsWindow.cs:414)
UnityEngine.UIElements.IMGUIContainer:DoOnGUI(Event, Matrix4x4, Rect, Boolean, Rect, Action, Boolean) (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/ModuleOverrides/com.unity.ui/Core/IMGUIContainer.cs:351)

I've tried activating another plugin, but the editor seems hard locked on the Profile plugin. I've tried replacing the Profile AkSoundEngine.bundle by the Release .bundle, but to no avail. It seems that either the .bundles aren't loaded because of a signature error or because some path is incorrect.

If anyone has any solution...
