This still happens in 2021.3.2f1 if there are no references left to the clip (In our case it was the script that held the reference being destroyed), can be worked around by holding a reference to the clip in any script that won't be destroyed, simply using a coroutine works

private IEnumerator HoldHostage(AudioClip clip) {
yield return new WaitForSeconds(clip.length + 1.0f);
}
