The fmod version we are currently using is 2.02.04 and does not support 16 KB Page Size. Due to Google’s requirements, we must upgrade.  
After upgrading to version 2.02.26, we released a beta version. As a result, many players have reported significant lag or even freezing during screen recording or live streaming. This issue only occurs on Android devices, there is no problem with iOS.  
We have found that this issue has been reported before:

> [@When using AAudio on Android, it becomes practically unusable while screen recording](https://qa.fmod.com/t/when-using-aaudio-on-android-it-becomes-practically-unusable-while-screen-recording/22162):
>
> FMOD Version: 20302 (144646) Android Version: 14 Reproduction Steps: Start screen recording, capturing the entire screen and device audio. Open the target game/application that uses FMOD. The audio becomes extremely choppy, and the target application also becomes very laggy. The log continuously reports AAudio related errors. 10-06 23:33:20.964: I/fmod(21701): FMOD\_OS\_Init : Detected CPU family: 4, features: 0x7F, cores: 8. 10-06 23:33:20.965: D/debug info(21701)…

And versions after 2.03.05 seem to have fixed this issue. So we upgraded to 2.03.09.  
After the upgrade, the number of feedback on this issue decreased, but there were still a few players who reported that the game froze during the live streaming. We suspect that this issue may not have been completely fixed.  
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Or, is it possible to provide a 2.02.04 version FMOD SDK that supports 116 KB Page Size? Because this version is the most stable version for us.

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to update 2.02.04.

Is there any more information about the devices that are freezing? Are you able to share any logs or callstack’s? Do you have any reproduction steps for the issue?

Thank you for the information.
