App crashes due to FMOD error
We've been encountering random crashes with, what we perceive to be, an audio issue. The following is basically what we ALWAYS see in the console and log outputs:
FMOD::SystemI::createChannelGroupInternal(char const*, FMOD::ChannelGroupI**, bool, bool)
Fyi, we've implemented a simple singleton pattern to manage our audio playback, implementing locks on the function that actually plays the clip, implement simple checks to not play audioClips consecutively, etc. The singleton basically instantiates a prefab with an AudioSource attached, then we dynamically attach a clip to that AudioSource and simply call Play(). We understand there could be a bit of an overhead with regards to how separate gameObjects need to be instantiated just for audio, but with how our game is setup, this is currently the best method we can go for.
We just can't figure out where this error could be coming from. We have a hunch it's at the point where the gameObject is instantiated. But that's about it.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Additional info: We've implemented the Burstly SD$$anonymous$$ for our ads, and Crystal SD$$anonymous$$ for our social features.
Updated my original questions (added a crash log). I'm also looking into the external libraries we've integrated (Burstly SD$$anonymous$$ and Crystal SD$$anonymous$$) if they are thumb-compiled.
