Audio stops but playback timer continues on second .mp3 after closing the first one

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
VS Code Version: 1.129.0

OS Version: Windows 11 25H2.

Steps to Reproduce:
(Happens in any workspace or folder in VS Code.)

1.- Open an audio file (e.g., audio1.mp3) using the built-in VS Code audio previewer and play it.

2.- While audio1.mp3 is still playing (or open), select and open a second audio file (audio2.mp3) in a separate editor tab/preview.

3.- Close the first editor tab (audio1.mp3).

Observe the behavior: The second audio file (audio2.mp3) stops producing sound (no audio output), but the playback timeline/timer continues to tick as if it were playing normally.
