"Audio device initialization failed" on any game on Windows if third-party application VoiceMeeter is running — at Initial Version

Description

Tested on Riven Steam version (2.1.0git) and on a standalone version (2.2.0git341-g151d8e336f).

If the application VoiceMeeter Potato (an audio mixing tool that provides several virtual audio devices) is running before starting ScummVM, it will be impossible to play any games.

Specifically, the Steam version fails to start the game as described. The standalone version crashes with a "Assertion failed: _mixerReady, file audio/mixer.cpp, line 240".
