I am using 4.20.3 and I don’t see Steam Audio reverb option for Android platform. Do you have an ETA for reverb support on Android ? Thanks
Hi everyone.
I’d like to ask id any Dev knows when the Embree acceleration method will be implemented in Unreal ?
It’s in Unity already, and according to steam accelerates audio raytracing by up to 5/6 times.
I’m starving for this.
Thanks !
I get an ‘Plugin failed to load’ error when I launch a packaged dedicated server with SteamAudio enabled in the project. The client works fine, with the SteamAudio effects when played in single player.
Has anyone else encountered this and know of a fix (other than I guess building the Dedicated Server separately with SteamAudio disabled)? Using 4.20.3.
Constant crashes before exporting scene. Yes, I know, according to documentation, scene must be exported. But it’s still undesired behaviour.

It seems that Steam Audio is abandoned. The bug described a year ago still persists. So, Steam Audio can’t be used in its current state for games with more then one map.
Can confirm the scene loading problem. The scene is loaded once in InitializePluginListeners at startup and then seemingly never again.
Hello everyone,
Steam Audio plugin just got some love. I updated it to SDK 2.0 beta15: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/5940
This update includes full thread support & Embree ray tracing. It’s able to give you about %200 speed boost on bake times, and increases real time performance drastically. There are also various minor changes.
Also fixed the bug where Steam Audio was not able to load new world’s scene data: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/5979
Cheers!

Wow, that’s great! I’ll give it a try later this week - need to download UE4 sources.
interesting. Maybe I will give it a test later, but sadly we scrapped that whole steam audio plugin in favour of fmod since valve never answered anywhere (and also for other reasons).
Just a heads up, I was able to fix reverb crash problem introduced with beta 16.
Now we’re able to use latest version on Steam Audio in Unreal Engine, beta 17 
I have updated same PR : https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/5940
I’m going to implement dynamic actor support soon, which is introduced with beta 17. Can’t wait to see results
Hi @dyanikoglu, I tried your update to beta 15 (pull request #5940). I don’t want to recompile a whole engine from sources, so didn’t try the second fix. As for SteamAudio, I compiled it as a project plugin.
Seems that everything works well (improvement of baking time is impressive!). Still, I faced a crash once:

Can you try again with my latest force push into the PR? I also fixed that crash.
and also as a side note, did you correctly placed .dll and .lib files into third party directories (I assume you did, but it would be better if you can confirm that before proceeding further)?
Update about movable actor support:
I was able to fully implement the feature into plugin by reverse engineering Unity plugin, but somehow instanced meshes are still not affecting simulation… Current situation is a little bit hopeless. If anyone wants to check out the implementation & provide some feedback, commits are there: https://github.com/ProjectBorealisAdmin/UnrealEngine/tree/4.23-PB-SteamAudio
I’ll try the lastest update to beta 17 at this weekend.
I added new dlls, libs and header to the plugin itself as a third-party module.
@dyanikoglu
I updated to beta 17 yesterday. Everything is good so far.
What’s the situation with iOS support? I see Android, Linux, Windows, even OSX, but no iOS?
It’s not supported by the Steam Audio SDK itself.
Steam Audio is going to be updated in 4.24, it’s officially confirmed in my PR
Congratulations!
@dyanikoglu
Here https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/5979 ] in comments you said about OnWorldCleanup and OnPostWorldInitialization delegates. Does it mean it’s possible to keep all changes within SteamAudio plugin and avoid changing engine’s sources?
