[Audio] Frequent audio stutter/pauses on Pixel 4 XL (coral) due to android.hardware.audio.service crash
Audio stutters or pauses for 1-2 seconds every 1-2 minutes during media playback (YouTube, Music apps). When the stutter occurs, the audio service seems to restart, causing a temporary loss of sound and subsequent video-audio sync issues.The issue occurred between 14:25 and 14:26 (as shown in the attached logcat).I suspect that GApps might be a contributing factor, though I am not entirely certain.
Expected Behavior
Audio should play continuously without service crashes or buffer errors.
Current Behavior
Audio playback is frequently interrupted by service crashes and buffer errors.
Steps to Reproduce
Open any media app (e.g., YouTube, Music player) and start playing audio or video.
