A Windows friend's 1.3.0 dies about a second in on every start, right around the 2 s audio warm-up (no Dart error, no close lines). Opening the device is now logged and leaves audio-init.pending until it returns; a start that finds it skips sounds instead of crashing again, and a sound preview in Settings tries once more.
