AudioMixerSourceManager Crash and Log Spam

Development Audio
1

@dan.reynolds I am sitting at version 25.3 and am experiencing following crash related to audio mixer. The crash occurs on cooked and packged build in Development Configuration. After checking log file I see following errors:

Finally it spams with bunch of repeating messages:



[2020.09.30-11.23.42:722][418]LogTemp: Resetting audio stream to device id
[2020.09.30-11.23.42:755][419]LogAudioMixer: Display: 0: FrontLeft
[2020.09.30-11.23.42:755][419]LogAudioMixer: Display: 1: FrontRight

and then the log file ends.

Is this crash anyhow related to the one from the begining of this thread? Is there a way to fix this without modifying engine code?

Can you describe what is happening when this crash occurs?

It looks like an invalid MixerSource ID.

@dan.reynolds game usually drops in frames, so it looks like it struggle with something for a second or two. Then it crashes. I cannot really find anything that could help finding reproduction steps unfortunately.
