There seems to be audio issues with Android 9. It could also be that the audio playing model has been changed in Android 9, but I can not find any information about this. The only audio related change seems to be "HD Audio: Improved performance and support for HD audio delivering clearer, sharper, and richer quality sound."
It is not only our apps that have issues with Android 9. I tested all the 10 top rated music visualizers. 40% of them have audio issues on Android 9, which makes the audio playing or the visualization not work anymore. I tested the same apps on a device with Android 8, where none of these problems appeared. This will cause big problems for the customers, when 40% of their music visualizer apps no longer work. Here are descriptions and stacktraces of the errors:
1) Visualizer data capture issue signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR) android::RefBase::incStrong(void const*) const backtrace:
00 pc 000000000000bc30 /system/lib64/libutils.so (android::RefBase::incStrong(void const*) const)

I have debugged and researched and found that setDataCaptureListener in Visualizer causes this problem. This is probably not a driver problem, since I see on the Play console that it happens on both Samsung and Motorola.
2) Radio streaming no longer starts E/MediaPlayerNative: error (1, -2147483646) E/MediaPlayer: Error (1,-2147483648) E/ContentValues: onError
The '1' value corresponds to the constant in MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN. -2147483648 corresponds to hexadecimal 0x80000000 which is defined as UNKNOWN_ERROR in frameworks/native/include/utils/Errors.h. This shows that the error's source is hard to pin down as it is quite a generic return value, thrown by codec and compatibility issues, but also thread cancellations and several other types.
