Where could this error come from? Or is it normal to get these errors while events are stopping each other and playing?

Hi,

This error is normal as it is just notifying you the virtualization system is reusing channels. You can read more about it here: [FMOD Studio | Advanced Topics - Stealing and Virtualization](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/advanced-topics.html#stealing-and-virtualization).

Hope this helps!
