    );

Not supported for C#.

Not supported for JavaScript.

busy Out
  Busy state of the disk at the current time.

Do not use this function to synchronize your own reads with, as due to timing, you might call this function and it says false = it is not busy, but the split second after calling this function, internally FMOD might set it to busy.

C#
JS

    FMOD_RESULT Memory_GetStats(
      int *currentalloced,
      int *maxalloced,
      bool blocking = true
    );

    FMOD_RESULT FMOD_Memory_GetStats(
      int *currentalloced,
      int *maxalloced,
      FMOD_BOOL blocking
    );

    static RESULT Memory.GetStats(
      out int currentalloced,
      out int maxalloced,
      bool blocking = true
    );

    Memory_GetStats(
      currentalloced,
      maxalloced,
      blocking
    );

currentalloced Out Opt
  Currently allocated memory at time of call.
maxalloced Out Opt
  Maximum allocated memory since System::init or Memory_Initialize.
blocking

  Flag to indicate whether to favour speed or accuracy. Specifying true for this parameter will flush the DSP network to make sure all queued allocations happen immediately, which can be costly.

  - Units: Boolean

This information is byte accurate and counts all allocs and frees internally. This is useful for determining a fixed memory size to make FMOD work within for fixed memory machines such as consoles.

Note that if using Memory_Initialize, the memory usage will be slightly higher than without it, as FMOD has to have a small amount of memory overhead to manage the available memory.

## Memory_Initialize

Specifies a method for FMOD to allocate and free memory, either through user supplied callbacks or through a user supplied memory buffer with a fixed size.

C
C++
C#
JS

    FMOD_RESULT Memory_Initialize(
      void *poolmem,
      int poollen,
      FMOD_MEMORY_ALLOC_CALLBACK useralloc,
      FMOD_MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK userrealloc,
      FMOD_MEMORY_FREE_CALLBACK userfree,
      FMOD_MEMORY_TYPE memtypeflags = FMOD_MEMORY_ALL
    );

    FMOD_RESULT FMOD_Memory_Initialize(
      void *poolmem,
      int poollen,
      FMOD_MEMORY_ALLOC_CALLBACK useralloc,
      FMOD_MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK userrealloc,
      FMOD_MEMORY_FREE_CALLBACK userfree,
      FMOD_MEMORY_TYPE memtypeflags
    );

    static RESULT Memory.Initialize(
      IntPtr poolmem,
      int poollen,
      MEMORY_ALLOC_CALLBACK useralloc,
      MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK userrealloc,
      MEMORY_FREE_CALLBACK userfree,
      MEMORY_TYPE memtypeflags = MEMORY_TYPE.ALL
    );

Not supported for JavaScript.

poolmem Opt
  Block of memory of size `poollen` bytes for FMOD to manage, mutually exclusive with `useralloc` / `userrealloc` / `userfree`.
poollen Opt

  Size of `poolmem`, must be a multiple of 512.

  - Units: Bytes
useralloc Opt
  Memory allocation callback compatible with ANSI malloc, mutually exclusive with `poolmem`. (FMOD_MEMORY_ALLOC_CALLBACK)
userrealloc Opt
  Memory reallocation callback compatible with ANSI realloc, mutually exclusive with `poolmem`. (FMOD_MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK)
userfree Opt
  Memory free callback compatible with ANSI free, mutually exclusive with `poolmem`. (FMOD_MEMORY_FREE_CALLBACK)
memtypeflags Opt
  Types of memory callbacks you wish to handle. OR these together to handle multiple types. (FMOD_MEMORY_TYPE)

This function must be called before any FMOD System object is created.

Valid usage of this function requires either `poolmem` and `poollen` or `useralloc`, `userrealloc` and `userfree` being set.
If 'useralloc' and 'userfree' are provided without 'userrealloc' the reallocation is implemented via an allocation of the new size, copy from old address to new, then a free of the old address.

To find out the required fixed size call Memory_Initialize with an overly large pool size (or no pool) and find out the maximum RAM usage at any one time with Memory_GetStats.

Callback implementations must be thread safe.

If you specify a fixed size pool that is too small, FMOD will return FMOD_ERR_MEMORY when the limit of the fixed size pool is exceeded. At this point, it's possible that FMOD may become unstable. To maintain stability, do not allow FMOD to run out of memory.

## FMOD_MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK

Callback to re-allocate a block of memory to a different size.

C
C++
C#
JS

    void * F_CALLBACK FMOD_MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK(
      void *ptr,
      unsigned int size,
      FMOD_MEMORY_TYPE type,
      const char *sourcestr
    );

    delegate IntPtr MEMORY_REALLOC_CALLBACK(
      IntPtr ptr,
      uint size,
      MEMORY_TYPE type,
      IntPtr sourcestr
    );

Not supported for JavaScript.

ptr
  Block of memory to be resized. If this is null, then a new block of memory is allocated and no memory is freed.
size

  Size of the memory to be reallocated.

  - Units: Bytes
type
  Memory allocation type. (FMOD_MEMORY_TYPE)
sourcestr
  String with the FMOD source code filename and line number in it. Only valid in logging versions of FMOD. (UTF-8 string)

When allocating new memory, the contents of the old memory block must be preserved.

Returning an aligned pointer, of 16 byte alignment is recommended for performance reasons.

The 'sourcestr' argument can be used via `StringWrapper` by using `FMOD.StringWrapper sourceStr = new FMOD.StringWrapper(sourcestr);`

FMOD_DEFAULT
  Default for all modes listed below. FMOD_LOOP_OFF, FMOD_2D, FMOD_3D_WORLDRELATIVE, FMOD_3D_INVERSEROLLOFF
FMOD_LOOP_OFF
  For non looping sounds. (DEFAULT). Overrides FMOD_LOOP_NORMAL / FMOD_LOOP_BIDI.
FMOD_LOOP_NORMAL
  For forward looping sounds.
FMOD_LOOP_BIDI
  For bidirectional looping sounds. (only works on software mixed static sounds).
FMOD_2D
  Ignores any 3d processing. (DEFAULT).
FMOD_3D
  Makes the sound positionable in 3D. Overrides FMOD_2D.
FMOD_CREATESTREAM
  Decompress at runtime, streaming from the source provided (ie from disk). Overrides FMOD_CREATESAMPLE and FMOD_CREATECOMPRESSEDSAMPLE. Note a stream can only be played once at a time due to a stream only having 1 stream buffer and file handle. Open multiple streams to have them play concurrently.
FMOD_CREATESAMPLE
  Decompress at loadtime, decompressing or decoding whole file into memory as the target sample format (ie PCM). Fastest for playback and most flexible.
FMOD_CREATECOMPRESSEDSAMPLE
  Load MP2/MP3/FADPCM/IMAADPCM/Vorbis/AT9 or XMA into memory and leave it compressed. Vorbis/AT9/FADPCM encoding only supported in the .FSB container format. During playback the FMOD software mixer will decode it in realtime as a 'compressed sample'. Overrides FMOD_CREATESAMPLE. If the sound data is not one of the supported formats, it will behave as if it was created with FMOD_CREATESAMPLE and decode the sound into PCM.
FMOD_OPENUSER
  Opens a user created static sample or stream. Use FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO to specify format, defaultfrequency, numchannels, and optionally a read callback. If a user created 'sample' is created with no read callback, the sample will be empty. Use Sound::lock and Sound::unlock to place sound data into the sound if this is the case.
FMOD_OPENMEMORY
  "name_or_data" will be interpreted as a pointer to memory instead of filename for creating sounds. Use FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO to specify length. If used with FMOD_CREATESAMPLE or FMOD_CREATECOMPRESSEDSAMPLE, FMOD duplicates the memory into its own buffers. Your own buffer can be freed after open, unless you are using FMOD_NONBLOCKING then wait until the Sound is in the FMOD_OPENSTATE_READY state. If used with FMOD_CREATESTREAM, FMOD will stream out of the buffer whose pointer you passed in. In this case, your own buffer should not be freed until you have finished with and released the stream.
FMOD_OPENMEMORY_POINT
  "name_or_data" will be interpreted as a pointer to memory instead of filename for creating sounds. Use FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO to specify length. This differs to FMOD_OPENMEMORY in that it uses the memory as is, without duplicating the memory into its own buffers. Cannot be freed after open, only after Sound::release. Will not work if the data is compressed and FMOD_CREATECOMPRESSEDSAMPLE is not used. Cannot be used in conjunction with FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO::encryptionkey.
FMOD_OPENRAW
  Will ignore file format and treat as raw pcm. Use FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO to specify format. Requires at least defaultfrequency, numchannels and format to be specified before it will open. Must be little endian data.
FMOD_OPENONLY
  Just open the file, dont prebuffer or read. Good for fast opens for info, or when sound::readData is to be used.
FMOD_ACCURATETIME
  For System::createSound - for accurate Sound::getLength / Channel::setPosition on VBR MP3, and MOD/S3M/XM/IT/MIDI files. Scans file first, so takes longer to open. FMOD_OPENONLY does not affect this.
FMOD_MPEGSEARCH
  For corrupted / bad MP3 files. This will search all the way through the file until it hits a valid MPEG header. Normally only searches for 4k.
FMOD_NONBLOCKING
  For opening sounds and getting streamed subsounds (seeking) asynchronously. Use Sound::getOpenState to poll the state of the sound as it opens or retrieves the subsound in the background.
FMOD_UNIQUE
  Unique sound, can only be played one at a time
FMOD_3D_HEADRELATIVE
  Make the sound's position, velocity and orientation relative to the listener.
FMOD_3D_WORLDRELATIVE
  Make the sound's position, velocity and orientation absolute (relative to the world). (DEFAULT)
FMOD_3D_INVERSEROLLOFF
  This sound will follow the inverse rolloff model where mindistance = full volume, maxdistance = where sound stops attenuating, and rolloff is fixed according to the global rolloff factor. (DEFAULT)
FMOD_3D_LINEARROLLOFF
  This sound will follow a linear rolloff model where mindistance = full volume, maxdistance = silence.
FMOD_3D_LINEARSQUAREROLLOFF
  This sound will follow a linear-square rolloff model where mindistance = full volume, maxdistance = silence.
FMOD_3D_INVERSETAPEREDROLLOFF
  This sound will follow the inverse rolloff model at distances close to mindistance and a linear-square rolloff close to maxdistance.
FMOD_3D_CUSTOMROLLOFF
  This sound will follow a rolloff model defined by Sound::set3DCustomRolloff / ChannelControl::set3DCustomRolloff.
FMOD_3D_IGNOREGEOMETRY
  Is not affect by geometry occlusion. If not specified in Sound::setMode, or Channel::setMode, the flag is cleared and it is affected by geometry again.
FMOD_IGNORETAGS
  Skips id3v2/asf/etc tag checks when opening a sound, to reduce seek/read overhead when opening files.
FMOD_LOWMEM
  Removes some features from samples to give a lower memory overhead, like Sound::getName.
FMOD_VIRTUAL_PLAYFROMSTART
  For sounds that start virtual (due to being quiet or low importance), instead of swapping back to audible, and playing at the correct offset according to time, this flag makes the sound play from the start.

By default a sound will open as a static sound that is decompressed fully into memory to PCM. (ie equivalent of FMOD_CREATESAMPLE) To have a sound stream instead, use FMOD_CREATESTREAM, or use the wrapper function System::createStream.

Some opening modes (ie FMOD_OPENUSER, FMOD_OPENMEMORY, FMOD_OPENMEMORY_POINT, FMOD_OPENRAW) will need extra information. This can be provided using the FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO structure.

Specifying FMOD_OPENMEMORY_POINT will POINT to your memory rather allocating its own sound buffers and duplicating it internally. This means you cannot free the memory while FMOD is using it, until after Sound::release is called.

With FMOD_OPENMEMORY_POINT, for PCM formats, only WAV, FSB, and RAW are supported. For compressed formats, only those formats supported by FMOD_CREATECOMPRESSEDSAMPLE are supported.

With FMOD_OPENMEMORY_POINT and FMOD_OPENRAW or PCM, if using them together, note that you must pad the data on each side by 16 bytes. This is so fmod can modify the ends of the data for looping / interpolation / mixing purposes. If a wav file, you will need to insert silence, and then reset loop points to stop the playback from playing that silence.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_MAX
  Maximum number of speaker modes supported.

Note below the phrase 'sound channels' is used. These are the subchannels inside a sound, they are not related and have nothing to do with the FMOD class "Channel".

For example a mono sound has 1 sound channel, a stereo sound has 2 sound channels, and an AC3 or 6 channel wav file have 6 "sound channels".

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_RAW
This mode is for output devices that are not specifically mono/stereo/quad/surround/5.1 or 7.1, but are multichannel.

- Use System::setSoftwareFormat to specify the number of speakers you want to address, otherwise it will default to 2 (stereo).
- Sound channels map to speakers sequentially, so a mono sound maps to output speaker 0, stereo sound maps to output speaker 0 & 1.
- The user assumes knowledge of the speaker order. FMOD_SPEAKER enumerations may not apply, so raw channel indices should be used.
- Multichannel sounds map input channels to output channels 1:1.
- Speaker levels must be manually set with Channel::setMixMatrix.
- Channel::setPan and Channel::setMixLevelsOutput do not work.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_MONO
This mode is for a 1 speaker arrangement.

- Panning does not work in this speaker mode.
- Mono, stereo and multichannel sounds have each sound channel played on the one speaker at unity.
- Mix behavior for multichannel sounds can be set with Channel::setMixMatrix.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_STEREO
This mode is for 2 speaker arrangements that have a left and right speaker.

- Mono sounds default to an even distribution between left and right. They can be panned with Channel::setPan.
- Stereo sounds default to the middle, or full left in the left speaker and full right in the right speaker. They can be cross faded with Channel::setPan.
- Multichannel sounds have each sound channel played on each speaker at unity.
- Mix behavior for multichannel sounds can be set with Channel::setMixMatrix.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_QUAD
This mode is for 4 speaker arrangements that have a front left, front right, surround left and a surround right speaker.

- Mono sounds default to an even distribution between front left and front right. They can be panned with Channel::setPan.
- Stereo sounds default to the left sound channel played on the front left, and the right sound channel played on the front right. They can be cross faded with Channel::setPan.
- Multichannel sounds default to all of their sound channels being played on each speaker in order of input.
- Mix behavior for multichannel sounds can be set with Channel::setMixMatrix.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_SURROUND
This mode is for 5 speaker arrangements that have a left/right/center/surround left/surround right.

- Mono sounds default to the center speaker. They can be panned with Channel::setPan.
- Stereo sounds default to the left sound channel played on the front left, and the right sound channel played on the front right. They can be cross faded with Channel::setPan.
- Multichannel sounds default to all of their sound channels being played on each speaker in order of input.
- Mix behavior for multichannel sounds can be set with Channel::setMixMatrix.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_5POINT1
This mode is for 5.1 speaker arrangements that have a left/right/center/surround left/surround right and a subwoofer speaker.

- Mono sounds default to the center speaker. They can be panned with Channel::setPan.
- Stereo sounds default to the left sound channel played on the front left, and the right sound channel played on the front right. They can be cross faded with Channel::setPan.
- Multichannel sounds default to all of their sound channels being played on each speaker in order of input.
- Mix behavior for multichannel sounds can be set with Channel::setMixMatrix.

FMOD_SPEAKERMODE_7POINT1
This mode is for 7.1 speaker arrangements that have a left/right/center/surround left/surround right/rear left/rear right and a subwoofer speaker.

- Mono sounds default to the center speaker. They can be panned with Channel::setPan.
- Stereo sounds default to the left sound channel played on the front left, and the right sound channel played on the front right. They can be cross faded with Channel::setPan.
- Multichannel sounds default to all of their sound channels being played on each speaker in order of input.
- Mix behavior for multichannel sounds can be set with Channel::setMixMatrix.

The platform agnostic thread groups, A, B and C give recommendations about FMOD threads that should be separated from one another.
Platforms with fixed CPU core counts will try to honor this request, those that don't will leave affinity to the operating system.
See the FMOD platform specific docs for each platform to see how the groups map to cores.

If an explicit core affinity is given, i.e. FMOD_THREAD_AFFINITY_CORE_11 and that core is unavailable a fatal error will be produced.

Explicit core assignment up to `(1 << 61)` is supported for platforms with that many cores.

The platform agnostic priorities are used to rank FMOD threads against one another for best runtime scheduling.
Platforms will translate these values in to platform specific priorities.
See the FMOD platform specific docs for each platform to see how the agnostic priorities map to specific values.

Explicit platform specific priorities can be given within the range of FMOD_THREAD_PRIORITY_PLATFORM_MIN to FMOD_THREAD_PRIORITY_PLATFORM_MAX.
See platform documentation for details on the available priority values for a given operating system.

type
  Identifier for an FMOD thread. (FMOD_THREAD_TYPE)
affinity Opt
  Bitfield of desired CPU cores to assign the given thread to. (FMOD_THREAD_AFFINITY)
priority Opt
  Scheduling priority to assign the given thread to. (FMOD_THREAD_PRIORITY)
stacksize Opt
  Amount of stack space available to the given thread. (FMOD_THREAD_STACK_SIZE)

You must call this function for the chosen thread before that thread is created for the settings to take effect.

Affinity can be specified using one (or more) of the FMOD_THREAD_AFFINITY constants or by providing the bits explicitly, i.e. (1<<3) for logical core three (core affinity is zero based).
See platform documentation for details on the available cores for a given device.

Priority can be specified using one of the FMOD_THREAD_PRIORITY constants or by providing the value explicitly, i.e. (-2) for the lowest thread priority on Windows.
See platform documentation for details on the available priority values for a given operating system.

Stack size can be specified explicitly, however for each thread you should provide a size equal to or larger than the expected default or risk causing a stack overflow at runtime.

## FMOD_THREAD_STACK_SIZE

FMOD_TIMEUNIT_MS
  Milliseconds.
FMOD_TIMEUNIT_PCM
  PCM samples, related to milliseconds * samplerate / 1000.
FMOD_TIMEUNIT_PCMBYTES
  Bytes, related to PCM samples * channels * datawidth (ie 16bit = 2 bytes).
FMOD_TIMEUNIT_RAWBYTES
  Raw file bytes of (compressed) sound data (does not include headers). Only used by Sound::getLength and Channel::getPosition.
FMOD_TIMEUNIT_PCMFRACTION
  Fractions of 1 PCM sample. Unsigned int range 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF. Used for sub-sample granularity for DSP purposes.
FMOD_TIMEUNIT_MODORDER
  MOD/S3M/XM/IT. Order in a sequenced module format. Use Sound::getFormat to determine the PCM format being decoded to.
FMOD_TIMEUNIT_MODROW
  MOD/S3M/XM/IT. Current row in a sequenced module format. Cannot use with Channel::setPosition. Sound::getLength will return the number of rows in the currently playing or seeked to pattern.

JS

    typedef struct FMOD_VECTOR {
      float   x;
      float   y;
      float   z;
    } FMOD_VECTOR;

    struct VECTOR
    {
      float x;
      float y;
      float z;
    }

    FMOD_VECTOR
    {
      x,
      y,
      z,
    };

x
  X coordinate in 3D space.
y
  Y coordinate in 3D space.
z
  Z coordinate in 3D space.

FMOD uses a left handed coordinate system by default.

To use a right handed coordinate system specify FMOD_INIT_3D_RIGHTHANDED from FMOD_INITFLAGS in System::init.

    #define FMOD_VERSION ...

    class VERSION
    {
      const int number = ...;
    }

Not supported for JavaScript.

FMOD_VERSION
  Current FMOD version number.

The version is a 32 bit hexadecimal value formatted as 16:8:8, with the upper 16 bits being the product version, the middle 8 bits being the major version and the bottom 8 bits being the minor version. For example a value of 0x00010203 is equal to 1.02.03.
