What is unity audio engine output format?
Is the output object based or channel based? If it is object based, how many objects can it generate concurrently. If it is channel based, what channel formats are supported, mono/stereo/5.1/7.1? Anything else?
If I understood your question correctly:
1) Unity supports mono, stereo and multichannel audio assets (up to eight channels) [e.g. mono/stereo/5.1/7.1]. More about supported audio formats you can read THERE.
2) Output is based on Audio Source position, its settings and Audio Listener position (usually main camera). You can also prioritize certain audio sources in their settings, so that your music or narrator will be surely heard.
3) Maximum number of audio sources playing at once depends on Audio Manager settings as well as hardware capabilities.
And if that wasn't enough there are plenty of other things you can read, in documentation, about audio capabilities, for example Audio Mixer.
Hi DoTA_$$anonymous$$A$$anonymous$$I$$anonymous$$ADzE,
Thank you so much for your answer.
Does your answer apply to Android? What is currently supported on Android?
Sampling rates number of channels Bitwidth
Also, is your output object based or channel based. I sensed from your answer that it is channel based. but, I would like to get confirmation from you.
Thank you, Song
All of those are supported for Android platform, as well as any other platform supported by Unity.
About channels, etc. I've already said in my answer and provided the links to documentation pages where you can find out more, click them and read.
If you want to hear/check out more aural representation, then you can always check out Unity's videos about their audio on official youtube channel (e.g. like THIS, THAT and THAT) or some tutorials made by third party (HERE the first one found on youtube).
If you won't be happy with built-in audio then you can always make your own audio plugin or check out one of the existing ones in Assets Store or find some other ones on the web by the power of search engine you prefer (for example THAT one).
