Unstable and fatal exceptions when FMOD can't interface with WASAPI.

Hi, not sure how to format this but I'll try to be as concise as possible. At launch of the game, if another application has exclusive control of the Windows audio subsystem, FMOD will have a fatal exception error code 51. From my research it appears this is because FMOD is unable to fallback to nosound mode (https://qa.fmod.com/t/error-51-fmod-err-output-init-no-default-playback-device/13148).

Additionally, if the game is launched having access to WASAPI, then exclusive control is handed over to another program, it becomes unstable and is prone to exiting with no error.

I've been able to recreate this behaviour by simply handing over exclusive access before and after launching the game by using music related programs like Roon and Audirvana in exclusive mode.
