Hello!
I really need help, and I don’t know where else I can ask for it. Me and some friends are developing a game with the version 2016.2.5 of Wwise. After we upgraded Wwise for the version 2017.1.2, we could no longer make a build of our game. The error that appears is: “UnrealBuildTool: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘AkSoundEngine.lib’”.
We’ve tried unnistalling Wwise, downgrading it, upgrading UE4 for the version 4.17, and even passing all files one by one between Wwise and the plugin folder in the UE4 project. Still no luck.
We need a final build for a demonstration for the next week and we’re running out of time.
Thank you in advance. 
Seems like we were using the wrong version of the Wwise libs. VS 2017 needs vc150 libs to be compiled. Case closed
Hey @MDancer! I’m having the same problem, but I don’t understand what the wrong version of the Wwise libs mean. Where do you get the vc150 libs? It’d be great if you could help me out with this! thanks in advance!
So what you got to do is get the correct vc libs that are in the directory “C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2017.1.3.6377\SDK” and drag them to your projects folder at “UnrealProject\Plugins\Wwise\ThirdParty” before you start packaging your Unreal project.
Thanks for your quick reply! I’ve done that, but still get red errors on the output saying that a bunch of AKAudio Components where not initialised and so on. I can launch from editor and I get a build running but no audio. 
I guess it’s not quite the same problem I’m not sure if I can help you. Can you send me the output log of your build? Also, how did you do the integration of Wwise in UE4, via Wwise or via engine (I know it’s possible but have no idea how you can do it).
This is a small sample of how it looks.

Any ideas?? Thanks!
