Unfortunately I am still getting audio crackling on 1.3.24.301 on Askey Projector - Android 14 (Epson Epiqvision EF12).
Was not happening prior to 1.3.23

Hm. Is there any change since 1.3.23? (E.g. is it less?)

it seems like it can hold out a little longer and the intensification of stuttering is more gradual. but it still eventually degrades completely and makes audio unusable

Does disabling low latency audio in the streaming settings help?

i just tried that and it's actually worse on my device with Low Latency Audio disabled. the crackling started almost immediately when i was still in big picture before i could even launch a game.

fwiw i had audio crackling on previous versions,
but the combination of enabling Low Latency Audio & Uncompressed Audio had fixed it until 1.3.23

Tested for half an hour on previously crashing config, and crashes and freezes seems to have been fixed. Using galaxy tab S10

We've added an audio buffer size setting in 1.3.25, can you try that bumped up to 30 or 40 ms?

Great, thanks for the feedback!

None of the Audio Buffer settings made a substantial difference. For example the issue appeared more quickly on 40ms than it did on 10ms, but not consistently.
It seems to crop up “randomly” anywhere between immediately and ~30mins of play.

Okay, I'll follow up with you via e-mail for more detailed troubleshooting.
