Cube - Selected Media Not Available? Lesson 1

+2 votes
Hi,

I am making a start with the WWise tutorials and for some reason the Icegem blast will not play, I've gone through the tutorial many times and with no avail. Looking through the profiler, it says 'Selected Media Not Available'. What does this mean?

I had this same issue. For me, it was related to setting the correct folder in the Soundbanks "User Settings" area. I'm on a mac, and the tutorial had seemed to indicate I should set the folder to ../../../cube/soundbanks, when in reality it needs to be in a subfolder titled "Mac." So the correct path was ../../../cube/soundbanks/Mac.
Go to the Soundbank layout (F7)

Click user settings in the Soundbanks tab.

Check the box that says "Override Project Soundbank Paths".

Press the small box corresponding to the platform you are using on the right with the three dots.

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise VERSION\Cube\cube\soundbanks\PLATFORM

Confirm the selection of the folder

Generate the Soundbank and restart Cube

Hi Joe, 

Sorry to hear you're having problems with Lesson 1. Here's a page for what that message means.
I would check if you're SoundBank really gets replaced, by deleting the previous ones before generating new ones, use the Profiler to get more information on what's wrong. 

If you don't find a solution, could you screenshot your error messages in Profiler Session Capture Log and then share the image here using e.g. Imgur

Let us know how it goes.

如果你用的是mac,就不能删除原本cube/soundbanks路径下的Mac文件夹

For me it was the folders, when I silenced the cube game by erasing everything within the soundbanks folder I made the mistake of deleting a folder called Windows and Mac in which, you should actually route the soundbanks to be generated, however by only creating the folder again it worked for me I hope this helps!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2022.1.8.8316\Cube\cube\soundbanks\Windows

That's how the final route should be
