How do I use Wwise convolution reverb with event based packaging in Unreal?

I'm having trouble getting Wwise convolution reverb to work in Unreal while using Event Based Packaging. It's perhaps because there's no implicit way to manually load a soundbank filled with the convolution impulses. Direct effect assignments on the sound object and effect assignments on an aux bus do not appear to be loading the pertinent impulses either. Convolution reverb is working properly when auditioning within Wwise. I am only using Factory Convolution Reverb impulses and settings. Any ideas?

I am also experiencing the same issue and am in need of an answer.

I'm currently having the same issue. We are using Event Based Packaging with Wwise 2021.1.8 and Unreal 5.0.3, and convolution reverb media files are showing as missing. The specific message is, "Plug-in media unavailable: Wwise Convolution Reverb", "Plug-in media unavailable: Could not find Impulse Response (*name of reverb setting*)". How can I ensure these impulse assets are packaged with the build?
