Create only one default listener for multiple PlayerCameraManagers in Unreal

+1 vote
Hi Everyone:

We are experiencing an issue with the unreal plugin in our local coop game. So by default the plugin code creates a default audio listener when a new local PlayerCameraManager is added, in our case, when we add a new local player and a new listener is created, what ends up happening is that whenever an audio plays, it plays twice, one for each listener. Our game is local coop with no splitscreen, is there a way to handle this case without having to modify the plugin code? Maybe we have some setup wrong or something, I assume this would be a common case for many games.

When you create a new player, check if it's local or networked. If it's networked, disable the Wwise listener.
