I am trying to play a sound using FMOD on Android 10. I have a really old device however, it’s a Nexus 4. On my newer device everything initializes smoothly.
FMOD successfully initializes. I am using the exact sample code for initialization of FMOD Core. When I run my app, android fails to initialize it’s audio engine, with this output:

Maybe I should be initializing with some more advanced settings?
