Guides implementation of custom Wwise or FMOD DSP plugins from scratch — effect, source, and mixer plugin types. Use when the user wants to create a new Wwise plugin, build an FMOD DSP effect, or implement a custom game audio middleware plugin. Trigger on phrases like "create a Wwise effect plugin", "build an FMOD DSP", "implement custom game audio middleware plugin", "how do I write a Wwise source plugin", or "set up an FMOD DSP description".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Game Audio Plugin Implementation Guide

Steps apply to both Wwise and FMOD unless noted.

## Step 1 — Choose middleware and plugin type

| Middleware | Effect plugin | Source plugin | Mixer plugin |
|------------|--------------|---------------|--------------|
| Wwise | `IAkInPlaceEffectPlugin` or `IAkOutOfPlaceEffectPlugin` | `IAkSourcePlugin` | `IAkMixerEffectPlugin` |
| FMOD | `FMOD_DSP_DESCRIPTION` (process callback) | `FMOD_DSP_DESCRIPTION` (generatetone or read) | `FMOD_DSP_DESCRIPTION` on a bus |

- Effect plugins modify an existing signal in place or out of place.
- Source plugins generate audio from scratch (synthesisers, procedural audio).
- Mixer plugins operate on a mix bus and see the summed signal from all inputs.
- Confirm the plugin type before writing any code — changing it later requires reworking the descriptor and callback signatures.

## Step 2 — Set up the plugin descriptor

**Wwise:**
- Declare an `AkPluginInfo` struct with your company ID, plugin ID, and plugin type.
- Implement `GetPluginInfo()` to return it from your plugin class.
- Provide a `CreateXxx` factory function and register it with `AK::SoundEngine::RegisterPlugin`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gourdja/sonic-skills/game-audio-guide@sha256:f8f63b14a9c8196b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.3a80b75, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
