Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

N/A (and not required)

Tested on Win 10 with Adobe Audition and Premiere Pro at the same time with a Godot editor + running project (4.4 dev 5) with audio and I could not reproduce the error.

(my audio output device is a USB Sound Blaster Play 3)

My audio is Realtek ALC1220 based, and the issue appeared with Vegas Pro 21

Duplicate of #18732 (though maybe that issue should emphasize the fact that the error spams).

I've created PR #100116 to address the error spam in the Godot editor. If anyone is available for testing this fix, you can download an editor build from the artifacts on the checks page of the PR.
