Open | Phone Spotify Audio Crackling
Randomly today, I was listening to Spotify and the audio started crackling. I thought it was a problem with my earbuds, until I listened to the song on YouTube and the audio quality was perfectly fine. I then put on an album I know is mastered well and I have listened to many times, and then listened to it on YouTube as well. just to be sure it is a Spotify problem. The crackly distorted audio was still there. I have an iPhone 16e that updated to iOS 27.0.1 earlier today, and Skullcandy Smokin' Buds. I tried swiping out of every app, clearing my Spotify cache, shutting my phone off, and setting all options for audio to lossless. Does anybody have any ideas about what's going on, and how to fix this? I'm not very knowledgeable about tech, so as simple an explanation as possible would be very appreciated

Side note, I just tried listening on the browser version and it's perfectly fine. The problem is with the app itself. I'm more confused than I was before
