No audio after some time, have to reboot

Nice! Is it close to EA?

@filip.k yes it’s close to EA but it depends on Community Beta feedback.

Just experienced the audio failure on a X10III with 5.0.0.67.

I correlate it with memory intensive operations. This time it was the SFOS browser on twitter timeline (sports, lots of media).
I noticed Wire (android) restarted - that notification usually comes after a memory shortage and correlates positively with sound issues.
Another symptom is video stuttering.

Usually restarting audio from utilities fixes things for a while (including video stuttering ) . After few iterations it is no longer effective hence reboot is needed.

Could we have audio restart as a standalone for the top menu, instead of something buried in utilities.
When you are trying to make or answer a call, and the audio is dead, it needs to be fast and easy.
Sadly it is far too common.

The closest I got is adding “Utilities” to the top menu. It’s scroll+ click away from a direct action :slight_smile:
