I guess this is the capture graph that is triggering the error, normally we do not open/close the capture graph in prepare, we do stop/prepare/start for capture graphs and handle open close in startup/shutdown.

Can you try this change and see if it fixes the issue, as prepare could be called multiple times and your patch will not give chance for trying new parameters incase the failure was due to unsupported params.
