Description

The Editor crashes when using the new audio mixer and adding/removing a USB headset to the PC.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Ensure that that there are two sets of headphones connected to the PC
    • One should be USB, the other using the audio jack
    • Disable all audio playback devices except for the USB headset
  2. Enable the new audio mixer
    • \Engine\Config\Windows\WindowsEngine.ini
    •  AudioDeviceModuleName=AudioMixerXAudio2
  3. Setup a project with PlatformerGame
  4. Open up the PlatformerGame project and ensure the Platformer_StreetSection is picked
  5. Launch PIE and get to a point where the robot begins running
  6. Unplug and plug back in the USB headset around 4 or 5 times
  7. Close out of PIE

Results: If the project did not crash while running PIE it will crash when exiting PIE

Expected: The project to continue running normally regardless of what audio devices is removed/added
