Audio playback issue with recent YouTube Music podcast episodes (Criticoni)

Duplicate Check

• I confirm I searched for existing reports and found no duplicates.

Describe the Bug

I am using SimpMusic and I cannot hear the audio on the latest episodes of podcast playlist from YouTube Music. Older episodes play perfectly, but the most recent ones are completely silent, even though the player's timeline progresses.

Steps to Reproduce

1. For example open this YouTube Music podcast playlist: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD8upAh9orWwuJH2ha764JjxA0jXcKwO6 (Criticoni season 3)
2. Try to play the most recent episodes.
3. The track starts and progresses, but there is absolutely no audio output.

Expected Behavior

The audio should stream and play normally, just like it does with the older episodes in the same playlist.

Start by reproducing the linked Criticoni playlist on the reported Android 16 and Samsung A54 setup, comparing recent silent episodes with older working ones. Inspect the playback path and collect relevant logs while an affected track progresses; the issue is done when those recent episodes produce audible audio without regressing older playback.
