 This whole issue with graphine crashing my audio-related apps is really starting to piss me off. Almost enough to make me want to switch operating systems if it persists. I've tried the recommended things like turning on compatibility mode and allowing the app to do whatever code review that it wants to.

Is there anything that I can do to fix it? Or is it on the app developer to switch to a more updated version of whatever the fuck is causing this thing to crash?  I genuinely don't understand the problem and I think that's what's frustrating the most.

 I'm also pretty sure everything is up to date. I just checked after this most recent crash. And im not on stable like I was Recommended. 
 I can't even get through a half an hour podcast without restarting the fucking audio about 5 times. 
 I don’t know what app your using but have you tried @Podverse? They have a F-Droid version.

 Havent heard of this. What apps are crashing? 
 Antennapod and audiobookshelf mainly.  
 I havent had any issues with antennapod. 
 Strange that zero issue here with Antennapod 😐 
 Which app is crashing?
I don't have any problem. 
 Both antennepod and audiobook shelf.  
 I'm guessing that at this point there's not much I can do other than try to find an alternative app or something because I don't necessarily think it's Graphenes fault, but I also don't really know.  
 I just tried Antennapod, works without a glitch.
Maybe a weird permission problem? 
 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if the issue persists I'll probably try the nuke and pave option and just reinstall graphene. See if a fresh install helps.  
 Maybe you can try to ask for help in the Matrix group 
 Fountian app audio crashes while left long enough in the background, to resolve I force close app and open again. No other apps i use have audio issues. 
 How strange and frustrating. I know it's not helpful to hear but I've not experienced this issue and I absolutely hammer the audio all day everyday on AntennaPod and NewPipe.  
 Lmao thats so annoying. I wonder if I just nuke and pave and reinstall graphene if that would fix issues. 
 Lol sorry it really wasn't meant to sound like a "haha mines working" kinda comment 😂. Yeah looks like a fresh install is needed before sacking off graphene all together  
 Can confirm having no audio issues with Graphene on a Pixel5.

I sometimes got random app crashes when Google Services were updated by Google Play.
To check go to the Apps app and reinstall Google Play services if the Available version is lower then your current one.
Should look like this:

 Ooooh I wonder if it's happening because I don't have the Google Play services installed. 
 Have you checked battery optimisation is disabled for those apps? 
 Mmmmm i have not. I was wondering it that would do something. I'm not really too good with phones, but I'm wondering if I could find log files somewhere and see what's causing me issues.
