Description

From Android 12 onwards, the beginning of the audio will fade in like a crossfade.

As you may know, this smooth fade in/out feature cannot be turned off from the OS.

And, Retroarch currently has no settings for crossfading.

I would love to see a setting added that allows me to turn off OS-compliant crossfading.

Research direction

Start by locating RetroArch's Android-specific audio handling and existing settings for playback behavior. Determine where an Android crossfade override could be exposed and verify that disabling it prevents the unwanted fade from the beginning of audio on Android 12 and later.
