An Overview of a Course on Audio for Games and Interactive Media

While audio in interactive media - particularly games - has historically been overlooked in favor of graphical realism, this trend is rapidly changing. Modern game audio tools now leverage digital signal processing (DSP), artificial intelligence (AI), and spatial audio techniques to create rich, interactive sonic environments. This paper provides an overview of a fourth-year undergraduate course on advanced game audio, with a focus on audio-based DSP methods. By sharing the course structure and instructional insights, the aim is to support others in developing similar offerings and to highlight the growing importance of audio in interactive media experiences.
