I can't seem to find an answer anywhere to this and I am starting to think I am the only one with this problem. Basically when listening to a podcast at ~1.9x or faster the audio stutters and produces a static sound. Waking the screen immediately stops the issue. The issue gets worse if you increase the speed or enable the "skip silence" feature.
I made sure to disable any battery saving options for the app and enabled any workaround options within the app. I even contacted the developer who pretty much just said that the phone is governing the processor too low with the screen off. I have tested other podcast apps and they seem to function fine even at faster playback speeds. For some reason, this only affects Podcast Addict.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Anybody have a suggestion for a fix? I am completely stock OOS version 4.5.6. I have the 8/128GB model if it makes a difference.
Edit: So I have messed with it a little more. It seems to have issues even if the screen is on and the app is not in the foreground. Within ~5 seconds of being put into the background it begins to stutter.
