FMOD is a commercial audio library made by Firelight Technologies that plays music files of diverse formats on many different platforms. It is used in games and software applications to provide audio functionality. FMOD supports a range of audio formats and numerous different operating system platforms.

Prior to version 3.75, the library was named simply as FMOD. Since then, the FMOD sound system has been redesigned and now contains three main parts:
* FMOD Ex, the low-level sound engine
* FMOD Event System, more abstract, higher level application layer to simplify play back content created with FMOD Designer
* FMOD Designer, the sound designer tool used for authoring complex sound events and music for playback

The FMOD sound system has an advanced plugin architecture, that can be used to extend the support of audio formats or to develop new output types, e.g. for streaming.

Licensing

FMOD is available under multiple license schemes. It is available free of charge for non-commercial applications. FMOD may be used commercially under a number of different license types, such as Commercial License for standard commercial development, Shareware/Hobbyist License for single hobbyist programmers, and eDistributed Console Games for budget console game. Each license contains different restrictions, conditions and costs. [cite web|url=http://www.fmod.org/index.php/sales|title=FMOD Licenses|accessdate=2007-09-29|publisher=Firelight Technologies]
