Question by ZeMayhem · Mar 15, 2021 at 09:26 PM · audioclipfmodogg vorbis

FMOD error: Unsupported file or audio format when setting AuioSource.clip

Goal I am trying to load a local .ogg file into AudioClip to play it back. However, I keep receiving an FMOD error.

The code I am using

     private IEnumerator getAudio(string path) {
     
             using (UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequestMultimedia.GetAudioClip(path, AudioType.OGGVORBIS))
             {
                 yield return www.SendWebRequest();
     
                 if (www.isHttpError || www.isNetworkError)
                 {
                     Debug.Log(www.error);
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     Debug.Log("Is done? " + www.isDone);
                     goAudioSource.clip = DownloadHandlerAudioClip.GetContent(www);
     
                     goAudioSource.Play();
                 }
             }
         }

The error message

Error: Cannot create FMOD::Sound instance for clip "" (FMOD error: Unsupported file or audio format. ) UnityEngine.Networking.DownloadHandlerAudioClip:GetContent(UnityWebRequest)

I already:

  • Made sure that the .ogg file I am using found via 'path' is a legit .ogg and can be played back

  • Tried to add "file://" before the path

  • Made sure that the www has finished downloading before accessing it

Any ideas what might be my problem here?

I am using Unity 2020.1.4f1.

Hello, I know this is pretty late but I got the same error, I solved mine by changing Audiotype to MPEG
