Systems, methods, and computer media for adjusting acoustics in real time are provided herein. An acoustic adjustment system can include a processor, a memory, a voxelizer, and a pathing analyzer. The voxelizer can be configured to generate a voxel-based representation of a three-dimensional (3D) interactive media environment. The voxel-based representation includes a number of individual voxels that together represent the environment. The voxelizer can also be configured to identify a plurality of blocked voxels that intersect visual elements of the 3D interactive media environment. The pathing analyzer can be configured to determine, for the clear voxels, audio path information representing a path of clear voxels between the voxel and the location of the listener. The audio path information can be used to adjust sounds emitted by sound emitters in the media environment to realistically reflect the distances the sound travels to reach the listener.
