My unity game keeps crashing my GPU (this is nomral) but this time, I get details involving Fmod. After my crash, I get this stack trace:

```auto

Is this a result of Fmod or is this simply Fmod panicking at everything has fallen apart?

Hi,

This warning comes when the buffer is filled with 0s and no actual audio data, which after a crash is not unexpected. So I believe FMOD is just panicking.
