Entity::EmitSound issues

[StOneDOes]

Using Entity::EmitSound() I am not hearing the sound as a 3D spatial sound - it is very weighted to my left ear, no matter which direction I face, or how close to the entity playing the sound I am. Is there something I could be doing wrong? Essentially my component that is attached to an entity in the world calls GetEntity()->EmitSound( .... ).

Tested on latest dev branch.

Did you call Listen() on the camera you want to act as the listener?

@StOneDOes Was that the problem?

Yes it was, thank you.

@Joshso while that fixes emitted sounds, it appears to break standard sounds that are just played by calling the Play() function. Its like as though my camera has now spatialized a sound that should be heard directly by the player, such as weapon reload. If I reload my gun, I can hear it mostly in my left ear, and then as I turn my player around I can hear it in the other ear.

Is there something else here I have missed?

You can play sound like that without Entity::EmitSound https://www.ultraengine.com/learn/CreateSpeaker?lang=cpp

Another option i think is speaker->SetSpatialization(false);

By default, mono sounds are spatialized and stereo are not. You can override this behavior with this command.
