3D cone attenuation not working correctly

0 votes
I have an issue with the 3D cone attenuation. Adding a LPF or HPF doesn't work as intended, it affects the sounds in front and around the player in a way that isn't attended. It works fine in the attenuation preview but not in game (using Unity). Any idea what this issue could be and how to fix it?

Thanks

Please note the Cone Attenuation is placed on the emitter sound (position & orientation of Game Object).  

If you wish a cone attenuation on the microphone (Listener), then you need to use the Azimuth bind to built-in parameter option in the Game Parameter settings.

To debug the position of objects, please use the Game Object Profiler.
