Sometimes android application crashes with the following error:

This is most likely to occur if you call [System::initialize](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.02&page=studio-api-system.html#studio_system_initialize) before org.fmod.FMOD.init

You should be able to solve this by ensuring that org.fmod.FMOD.init happens before system initialize.

Thanks, that helped to fix one of the issues. I have one more bug report when the same issue is happening in Activity.onDestoy():

```auto
_pCoreSystem->mixerSuspend();

...

FMOD.close();

```

Before Application.onDestroy is called, you will want to call Studio::release followed by org.fmod.FMOD.close
