Hey. I’m working on a military first person shooter’s sound design (available on Steam), currently based on UE4 4.20.2. We’re slowly getting ready to move audio to Wwise, but in the meantime I wanted to give the new audio engine a try in order to add few effect processors so the global VOIP sounds like radio chatter - similar to how it sounds in e.g. Squad. I edited the AudioDeviceModuleName in WindowsEngine.ini accordingly to the instructions found here. After that I installed SoundUtilities and Synthesis plugins. Then I created Source Effect Preset Chain consisting of low-pass and high-pass filters, BitCrusher and a compressor. I applied it on the global VOIP sound cue. The changes made it to the dev test server, but were rolled back after first launch due to a crash that happens when one connects to the server. Here’s the fragment of the log mentioning AudioThread issues:

I’ve attached whole log to the post.
Is there anything I’m doing wrong? How could it be fixed?
