URGENT: Chrashes on any other program taking audio.
Description
When running ALVR and trying to stream in my case. I will get OS Error 11 that a handshake error has occurred, nothing is interfearing with ALVR and its connection. Hell OBS in my case isent even taking video yet. Nor audio. ALVR will just throw that error for no clear reason. ANd it seems to be a ongoing issue. See https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/3047 or the discord ticket https://ptb.discord.com/channels/720612397580025886/1427547213004935209 for examples of more cases
General Troubleshooting
- Attempted a full reinstall and system reboot to no aval
- When closing OBS it resolves it but as soon as OBS opens it happens again
- CHecking OBS's program shows 0 communication that would cause a conflict. So OBS isent interfearing at all
- ALVR seems to suddenly not see steamvr also at the same time

Please try the latest nightly. This should have been fixed for a while. We are still working on the next release, which is a major one, it will take some time.
Nightly helps little as half the time it dosent detect steamvR
It's been working for me on the stable now, all I had to do was turn off my microphone on the dashboard and then turn it after when it connected, now it works every time :/
