VRChat Mobile doesn't work when using an OTG > audio interface
I've been using VRChat Mobile with an external microphone by connecting my smartphone to an audio interface via OTG. It had been working perfectly for a long time. However, for the past few days, I haven't been able to use it anymore. There is no audio input or output at all. Whenever I connect the OTG audio interface and launch VRChat Mobile, the app sometimes crashes while loading into a world. I do manage to enter a world, but my avatar and other players' avatars behave strangely—they become stiff, animations stop working properly, and I can't even walk. And yes, there's no audio input and output AT ALL. The app runs normally when I'm not using the audio interface. Performance is smooth, and I don't experience any of these issues without it. My phone settings are still exactly the same as before. I haven't changed any audio, USB, or OTG-related settings. Device: Samsung Galaxy A54 Operating System: Android 16 (One UI 8.5, latest update) Connection: OTG + external USB audio interface Reproduction Steps: Connect an external USB audio interface to the phone using an OTG adapter. Launch VRChat Mobile. Log in and join any world. The app crashes while loading into the world, or if it loads successfully, there is no audio input/output, avatars become stiff, and I can't even walk. I have already tried resetting the VRChat settings, cache, etc, and also resetting my smartphone. Unfortunately, the issue still persists with the exact same behavior. The same audio interface still works normally with other apps, so the issue appears to be specific to VRChat Mobile.

[1535-1568] Mic starts cutting out after staying for a couple of minutes in the instance even with good internet connection in some Android devices and in certain worlds
This is an issue that I'm experiencing on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This does not happen with my Samsung S21 Ultra. Like the title says, after a couple of minutes of staying in the instance the mic starts cutting out, which I learned about it after one of my friends told me. Rejoining the instance may temporarily fix the issue but starts occurring again after a while. This happens despite having good internet speeds and connection, which I currently have download speeds of 100mbps and upload speeds of 10mbps and at an acceptable distance away from the router/modem combo at home with no reported outage from the ISP. Not every compatible device might be able to reproduce this bug. Edit: I added a video that shows the bug in action, made possible by using an alt account that I own for recording. I was deliberately making noises like rubbing the phone on the bed sheet and using a portable fan in front of the mic for this purpose. After further testing, I noticed that some worlds are not affected by this, so not all worlds are able to reproduce this bug. From the worlds I've tested, the ones able to do it were Abyssal Seas Remeshed (where the video was recorded) and Pocket Rain by Silyataru, Winter Company by Lucifer MStar, Ethereal Escape by Kireya, Cozy Boat by Lealennia and The Black Cat by spookyghostboo, just to mention a few.
