Since updating to tvoS 26.1/2 YouTube audio breaks when playing videos at anything other than 1x speed. At 1.25x or higher, the audio is "static-y" and distorted almost immediately. Strangely, AirPods work fine, it only happens with other audio outputs. Anyone else experiencing this, or have a fix? tvOS: 26.2 (23J582) YouTube app: 4.51.08 Speed Output Static 1x TV speakers No 1x HomePods No 1x AirPods Pro 3 No 1.25x TV speakers Yes 1.25x HomePods Yes 1.25x HomePods Mini Yes 1.25x Sonos One Yes 1.25x AirPods Pro 3 No
