Description

At least on windows, several programs such as fx sound create virtual devices for audio that don't work correctly with wasapi, at least with dolphins config (it does work with other programs where it just goes through the list of audio devices and outputs to whatever works, no idea how that works). When you attempt to launch a game with the WASAPI backend on such a config causes dolphin to lockup and crash with no panic alert or anything.
