### Steps to reproduce
Download the following sample file and upload it to a room (unencrypted).
[{FBE8A786-7F04-962F-6202-E99364B00315}.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/20822164/FBE8A786-7F04-962F-6202-E99364B00315.zip)
Password: `{DAA8217B-D191-3CE4-A23D-1DD64B00D2F6}`
**Please download this file as soon as possible.**
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
n/a
#### What happened instead?
The sample file cannot be played in the app after uploading, but it can be downloaded normally, and after downloading to the local computer, it can still be played using a third-party player.
Error message in the console:
```
Error processing audio file: TypeError: Cannot perform Construct on a detached ArrayBuffer
at new Uint8Array ()
at compat.ts:35:28
at new Promise ()
at c (compat.ts:32:12)
at r.prepare (Playback.ts:174:39)
```
Strange things:
1. This file cannot be played only on desktop clients, but it can be played normally on the following clients:
- Element Web
- Elemnet Android
- Element iOS
- Element X Android
- Element X iOS
- Fluffy Chat Web
2. The audio file is a recording, generated by an Android app. However, not all M4A audio files generated by the app have this problem, and some files can be played normally after being uploaded.
