Description

UE4Editor does not open when there are no audio input or output devices available.
The editor hangs at 83% after it initializes the AudioMixer.

This issue looks like it was caused by CL 4396954.
Ethan made a change to Perform an audio render thread command flush in that change.

I had pulseaudio uninstalled because I was testing [Link Removed] - No Editor Audio on Linux when using ALSA.

REGRESSION: Yes
Broken: //UE4/Main CL-4398312
Worked: //UE4/Main CL-4395058

Steps to Reproduce

1. Uninstall pulseaudio
2. Restart the computer
3. Open the System Settings > Audio and ensure that there are no audio devices listed
4. Open UE4Editor

RESULT:
UE4Editor does not open when there are no audio input or output devices available
