Audio Glitch in Brave When Playing in Background (Android)

Hi,

I’m facing a weird issue on Brave browser (Android). When I play audio from YouTube or Spotify in the background (with the screen off or while switching to another app), the sound starts glitching, like it’s rapidly pausing and unpausing. It works fine when I’m actively using Brave, but glitches only when it’s in the background.

I’ve already tried:

Disabling battery optimization for Brave

Turning off power saving mode

Re-installing it, and clearing cookies.

Nothing has fixed it so far. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution? Any help would be appreciated!

Phone model: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Android version: Android 13
Brave version: Brave 1.80.122, Chromium 138.0.7204.157

Thanks in advance!
