### Step-by-step reproduction instructions
Per user:
> I started my car and CarPlay launched on my car’s stereo receiver. Pocket Casts seemed to be playing, but no sound was produced.
> * This isn’t the first time or the first version of Pocket Casts to do this. It just happens in CarPlay.
> * It happens semi-regularly on multiple podcasts. I can provide the URL for this podcast in particular however.
