Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/79

SoundDeviceService does not:

Notify the user of incorrect sound setup
Automatically correct audio output bitrate as intended

Game crashes at high bitrate (unknown cause). If this issue were solved, SoundDeviceService and SimplyCoreAudio would no longer be required.

Steps to reproduce high-bitrate crash:

Set MacBook Speakers output formate to '96,000 Hz' in Audio MIDI Setup
Launch Genshin
Start keymapping/lock cursor with Option
Enter a combat scenario
Audio will cut out, and a few seconds later, game will freeze

Correction:
SoundDeviceService WILL display an alert if audio settings are wrong however the alert is formatted incorrectly, and it will not correct audio settings automatically.

Instructions presented by the dialogue are not clear.
