Recently I’ve had the pleasure of working with FMOD Ex, an amazing audio engine developed by Firelight Technologies. Used as the audio engine for popular games such as Crysis, Guitar Hero III and World of Warcraft, FMOD Ex is a high powered engine that comes at the surprisingly low price of free for non-commercial use. 

As of version 4.10.06, FMOD Ex supports the following platforms:

• Windows (32bit and 64bit)
• Macintosh (PPC and x86)
• Linux (32bit and 64bit)
• Sony PS2, PS3 and PSP
• Microsoft Xbox and Xbox 360
• Nintendo Gamecube and Wii

In addition to this, FMOD Ex supports an assortment of over 20 different audio formats.

For more information about licensing, visit the FMOD sales page or email sales@fmod.org

NOTE: While FMOD 3 is still currently supported, FMOD Ex was rewritten from the ground up, making all code written for the FMOD 3 engine incompatible with its successor.
