Hi FMOD (Unity 2019.1.13f1) generating a random crashing on all Android 8.0 devices from AAudio API. Android 8.1 and other version works fine. For us will be the best quick solution to use OPENSL output for Android API-26.  
We tryed to change the output in first Awake in Unity, bust it’s too late, because FMOD is already initialized. Ofcourse, is possible to modify RuntimeManager.cs, but it’s not a clear solution.

We using FMOD 2.00.04.

Here is crashlog:

I can confirm, that changing the output to OPENSL in RuntimeManager.cs works. Adding this lines to RuntimeManager.cs:198 is a quick solution for this crashes:

```
        #if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_ANDROID
        if (SystemInfo.operatingSystem.Contains("API-26"))
            outputType = FMOD.OUTPUTTYPE.OPENSL;
        #endif
```
