End-of-Life Notice for Oculus Spatializer Plugin

The Oculus Spatializer Plugin has been replaced by the Meta XR Audio SDK and is now in end-of-life stage. It will not receive any further support beyond v47. We strongly discourage its use. Please navigate to the Meta XR Audio SDK documentation for your specific engine:
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Unity Native
- Meta XR Audio SDK for FMOD and Unity
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Wwise and Unity
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Unreal Native
- Meta XR Audio SDK for FMOD and Unreal
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Wwise and Unreal

This documentation is no longer being updated and is subject for removal.

Add the Oculus Spatializer plugin after installing the Wwise Integration Package to your Unity projects.

Audiokinetic provides Wwise integration for Unity projects through the Wwise Integration Package, allowing Wwise to be used in Unity games (see Audiokinetic’s documentation here). Before you can add Wwise sound banks to your Unity scene that include spatialized audio, you must add the appropriate spatializer plugin to your Unity project.

Each Unity target platform (Android, macOS, x86, x86_64) has its own plugin you must add.

x86 Target Platform

Navigate to the Oculus Spatializer Wwise download package folder that matches your version of Wwise.
Copy \Win32\bin\plugins\OculusSpatializerWwise.dll to the {Unity Project}\Assets\Wwise\Deployment\Plugins\Windows\x86\DSP\ folder.

x86_64 Target Platform

Navigate to the Oculus Spatializer Wwise download package folder that matches your version of Wwise.
Copy \x64\bin\plugins\OculusSpatializerWwise.dll to the {Unity Project}\Assets\Wwise\Deployment\Plugins\Windows\x86_64\DSP\ folder.

macOS Target Platform

Navigate to the Wwise20xx/Mac folder in your Oculus Spatializer Wwise download package.
Copy libOculusSpatializerWwise.dylib to the {Unity Project}/Assets/Wwise/Deployment/Plugins/Mac/DSP/ folder.

Android Target Platform

Navigate to the Wwise20xx\Android folder in your Oculus Spatializer Wwise download package.
Copy libOculusSpatializerWwise.so to the {Unity Project}\Assets\Wwise\Deployment\Plugins\Android\armeabi-v7a\DSP\ folder.
