FMOD Studio crashes upon adding Steam Audio Effect

[ElliotJKing]

System Information

• Steam Audio version: 4.8.1
• FMOD Studio version: 2.0.3.14
• Operating System and version: macOS Tahoe Version 26.5.2

Issue Description
I've been trying to get Steam Audio to work with our FMOD Project. When we add Steam Audio to the project, FMOD Studio will crash upon adding the Steam Spatializer to one of the fader effects, the application will crash. This seems to also happen with every other Steam Audio effect as well.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a FMOD Studio project with the version stated above
2. Add Steam Audio files to the Plugins folder of the created project
3. Reopen FMOD Studio, open the created project and allow the library files as MacOS might lock it due to privacy settings.
4. Create an event and add the Steam Spatializer onto to the tracks effect deck, upon doing this, the application if the conditions are the same should crash.
