Wwise Unity - AkSoundEngine.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)

Question

Technical issue incoming. I've integrated Wwise into a Unity project and shared it with my team via SourceTree. Everything works fine, except for one programmer, whose Unity crashes as soon as Wwise is initialized through the AkInitializer component.

Any one of you ever experienced this before? We're struggling with figuring this one out. Thanks in advance!

Unity 2019.3.11.f1

Wwise 2019.2.6.7381

 

Here's the first few lines of the crash report.

*update*

For anyone searching for a solution to this problem:

Our programmer had to reformat his computer and put the Unity project into his C:/ drive, rather than an external harddrive.

Nothing else worked. It was basically some corrupted audio drivers/codecs and/or references that messed up everything, since trying out different Wwise versions on different Unity projects and builds all resulted in the same crash.

Hope this helps!
