Speaker makes loud static noise when it starts playing from LMS (Squeezebox). Serial logs show unhandled exception

[digital-night]

I have several ESP32 speakers that I mostly stream to using LMS (Squeezbox), content includes text to speech announcements, MP3, FLAC, and OGG audio. I haven't been able to identify all of the triggers, but fairly often my living room speaker will do this 3/4 of the time with the first sound of the morning. I setup a Pi to power / log the serial output and captured this info:
