==== Installing the FMOD library and setting it up in the Windows MSVC RTSimpleApp project ====

For legal reasons I can't include FMOD with the sdk, but it's very easy to download and copy into the right place.

First [[http://www.fmod.org/index.php/download|download the Windows 32 bit version of FMOD]] and install somewhere. (it's ok if you have a 64 bit version of windows)

Locate the directory it installed with file explorer and cut and paste the entire "api" directory into <main proton dir>/shared/win/fmod

Oh, and also copy fmodex.dll from the api directory into <main proton dir>/RTSimpleApp/bin or else you'll get a dll not found error.

Now open the RTSimpleApp MSVC project and do the following:

Locate shared/Audio/AudioManagerFMOD.h and Shared/Audio/AudioManagerFMOD.cpp in the solution source tree.  Highlight them, right click and set "Excluded from build" to no.

Edit near the top of App.cpp.

Change:
<code cpp>
#include "Audio/AudioManagerAudiere.h"
AudioManagerAudiere g_audioManager; //Use Audiere for audio

//#include "Audio/AudioManagerFMOD.h"
//AudioManagerFMOD g_audioManager; //if we wanted FMOD sound in windows
</code>

to:

<code cpp>
//#include "Audio/AudioManagerAudiere.h"
//AudioManagerAudiere g_audioManager;  //Use Audiere for audio

#include "Audio/AudioManagerFMOD.h"
AudioManagerFMOD g_audioManager; //if we wanted FMOD sound in windows
</code>

That's it.  FMOD will now be used for audio.
